Château de Ragny stands in Savigny-en-Terre-Plaine (Yonne), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Ragny castle stands at Savigny-en-Terre-Plaine, in the Yonne department, built upon the foundations of a 12th-century feudal manor, of which a three-arched gallery still remains. The sprawling, irregularly arranged structure seen today took shape through successive alterations, notably under François de la Magdelaine, first marquis of Ragny, who embellished the estate in the early 17th century. Visitors cross a main courtyard lined with wide moats, flanked by round turrets and a dovecote dated 1530, before reaching a formal French garden planted with hornbeam hedges.
