Château de Quemigny-sur-Seine

To make a day of it

Château de Quemigny-sur-Seine stands in Quemigny-sur-Seine (Côte-d'Or), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 14th century, 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

On the banks of the young river Seine, in Quemigny-sur-Seine in the Côte-d'Or, stands a square medieval keep against which an 18th century residence was later built, flanked by two round towers and outbuildings around a courtyard. The ensemble reflects two periods: the Burgundian ducal stronghold recorded from the 13th century, and the country house built in the mid 18th century for a magistrate from Dijon. The château remains privately owned and is not open to visitors, though its façades, roofs and round towers can be seen from the outside.
