Château d'Oricourt stands in Oricourt (Haute-Saône), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 15th century, 16th century, 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
In Oricourt, in the Haute-Saône department, stands a fortified castle with a double enclosure whose origins go back to the 12th century. Its tall towers and thick walls bear witness to a history of sieges, rival lordly families, and sometimes contentious inheritances, from Nicolas Rolin to the Cordemoy family. The visit offers a close look at medieval defensive architecture, from before artillery made such fortifications obsolete.
