Donjon de Day, Medieval keep in Neuville-Day, France.

The Donjon de Day is a stone keep with three circular rooms spread across multiple floors. A spiral staircase in a secondary tower connects these levels and defensive features are built into the walls.

The keep was built in 1243 by Sigebaud, a companion of King Louis IX of France. A fire in the 18th century caused substantial damage to the structure.

The guard room displays a decorated fireplace bearing the Bohan-Ligneville coat of arms, marking the marriage between these noble families in 1498.

The keep can be visited during the warmer months and requires advance booking for a guided tour. Comfortable shoes are helpful when climbing the narrow spiral stairs.

Local stories speak of an underground passage that once connected the keep to the castle of the Marshal of France. This legend has been passed down from the 17th century and remains part of the site's folklore.
