Château de Présilly, Medieval castle in Présilly, France.

Château de Présilly is a medieval fortress on Crotard hill in the Jura region. The structure features a rectangular keep and fortified walls dating to the 13th century, positioned at an elevation of around 640 meters.

The castle belonged to the Dramelay family until the 15th century, then passed to Nicolas Rolin and his descendants, and from the 16th to the 18th century to the counts of Montrevel. Each owner added to the fortifications. In 1673, during the French conquest of Franche-Comté in the Dutch War, Lacuzon dismantled the castle so an enemy could not use it.

The castle's name comes from the village of Présilly on Crotard hill, and the site is managed by the association "les Balladins du château", founded in the 1980s, which organises excavation work there. Visitors enter through the 15th-century barbican and its side gate, then cross the moat by a drawbridge before passing the châtelet into the courtyard.

The castle sits along a walking route through the Jura region with views of the surrounding landscape. The site is best reached on foot and offers a good stopping point for those exploring the hilly area.

The castle was dismantled in 1673 by Lacuzon, a Franche-Comté commander, so French forces could not use it during the Dutch War. The ruined fortress was later described by Charles Nodier and illustrated by Jean Alaux in an 1825 volume of the Voyages pittoresques et romantiques dans l'ancienne France.
