In the Puisaye region, the château de Ratilly stands with its six sandstone towers atop a rise overlooking the Vrille valley. Built around 1270 on a philippian layout, the building has come through the centuries largely untouched by later rebuilding, keeping the stern look of a medieval stronghold despite Renaissance-era changes. Since 1951 it has housed a pottery workshop and a contemporary art centre, giving a visit both an architectural and artistic side.
