Castle in Mont-Saint-Jean, Medieval fortress in Mont-Saint-Jean, France.
The castle features a rectangular keep with four corner towers connected by curtain walls, built during the second quarter of the 13th century.
First documented in 924, the fortress changed hands from the Vergy family to the House of Thil through marriage alliances in the 14th century.
The castle complex includes the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Church, which transformed from a castle chapel to a parish church around 1440.
Located on a promontory 100 meters above the Serein River banks and D117 road, the castle remains a private residence closed to visitors.
The castle grounds measure 230 by 75 meters, with former moats now serving as a walking path around the perimeter.
