Château de Précy stands in Guipy (Nièvre), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 16th century, 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Guipy, in the Nièvre department, the château de Précy retains the outline of a 14th century fortified farmhouse, altered over the following centuries. The main building, topped with a steeply pitched roof, is flanked by two round towers with conical roofs and a stair turret pierced with gun loops. Hidden watch turrets sit beneath the roofline of the main house, alongside carved window openings, including a large moulded window on the north facade. The estate still includes farm outbuildings and stables.
