Château de Marigny stands in Marigny (Saône-et-Loire), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first half of the 12th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
The Château de Marigny stands atop a hill overlooking the village, in the Saône-et-Loire region. Its Romanesque keep, first recorded in 1104, survived while the rest of the stronghold fell into ruin by the mid sixteenth century. Residential buildings were added in the nineteenth century, creating a composite structure spanning several periods. Visitors can see a square Romanesque tower once reached by a drawbridge, along with trefoil twin windows typical of medieval design.
