This week in the agenda

Château de Chastellux stands in Chastellux-sur-Cure (Yonne), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 12th century, 13th century, 17th century, 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Perched on a rocky spur above the Cure river, Chastellux castle still belongs to the family that built it, a rare situation in France. The site preserves remains from several periods, from the Saint-Jean tower, one of the oldest towers in Europe, to additions made in the 19th century. Visitors can see the architecture of a medieval stronghold turned family residence, with its towers, its 13th-century Guard Room and its chapel.
