In Anthien, in the Nièvre department, the château de Villemolin stands with its U-shaped layout on the edge of the Morvan, blending a medieval fortified house with a residence reshaped over the centuries. Three corner towers, a chapel, an orangery and extensive outbuildings form an ensemble bearing the marks of building campaigns from the 15th to the 19th century. Walking around the facades and grounds traces how the house moved from a defensive role to a more refined way of living.
