Château de Scey, Medieval castle ruins in Chassagne-Saint-Denis and Cléron, France
The Château de Scey stands on a rocky promontory between the Loue Valley and Valbois ravine at an elevation of 478 to 496 meters.
The castle's construction began in the 11th century, with the Saint-Denis Tower built in 1166 by Pierre de Scey, before Louis XIV ordered its destruction in 1674.
The castle site received heritage protection status in 1934, followed by additional classification of its ruins and dependencies as historical monuments in 1987.
Ongoing restoration work since 1995 has focused on stabilizing the ruins and improving visitor access to different sections of the castle complex.
The castle structure includes three vaulted rooms from the 15th century and a square tower with limestone covering and spiral staircase remnants.
