Château de Salmaise, Medieval castle in Salmaise, France.
The Salmaise Castle stands on a rocky spur in the village center, featuring towers and stone walls from the 13th and 14th centuries.
Initial construction dates back to 1003, following donations to Salmaise priory by Duke Hugh, before becoming an important seigneurial residence.
The Lords of Salmaise served as constables to the Duke of Burgundy in the 12th century, leading armies in the Duke's absence.
The castle remains a private property closed to visitors, but its architecture can be observed from the surrounding village roads.
The Saint-Marc castle chapel from the 12th century ranks among the oldest castle chapels in Burgundy and underwent restoration in the 1990s.
