Château d'Anizy stands in Limanton (Nièvre), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 12th century, third quarter of the 16th century, first quarter of the 17th century, 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Anizy castle stands on a motte south of the village of Limanton, in the Nièvre department, on the site of a 12th century fortified house that once guarded a ford over the Aron river. The present building, erected in the early 16th century by the Frasnay family, retains a round turreted tower, a wooden spiral staircase and old fireplaces. The river once served as a moat, crossed by drawbridges that, like the surrounding walls, have since disappeared.
