Maison forte de Nanc-lès-Saint-Amour stands in Les Trois-Châteaux (Jura), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Located in the commune of Les Trois-Châteaux in the Jura department, the fortified house of Nanc-lès-Saint-Amour reflects 16th-century seigneurial architecture, standing at a crossing point of old salt trade routes. The building is a long rectangular structure flanked by a round tower with a spiral staircase, and still shows traces of its defensive past, including a square tower that was once crenellated. Its history is tied to major families of Burgundy and Franche-Comté, from the Laubespins to associates of chancellor Nicolas Rolin.
