In Saint-Point, in Saône-et-Loire, this 17th-century château owes its fame to the poet Alphonse de Lamartine, who made it his home and remodelled it between 1852 and 1855 in the neo-Gothic style then fashionable in England, adding a keep, a gallery and battlements. Visitors can see the state rooms with their period decoration, set within an English-style garden. A nearby cemetery holds the family vault where the poet is buried, divided from the park by a simple wall.
