Of the 148 castles we list in Nièvre, these 56 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 56 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Middle Ages, spread across 50 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Château des Bordes (Bordes Castle) (open to visitors), Chateau de Prye (a listed historic monument), Château d'Apremont, Arthel (84 reviews), Château d'Anizy (Anizy Castle) (you can stay the night) and Château de la Montagne (Montagne Castle) (open to visitors).

10 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 5 and the prices of 6 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 14 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Middle Ages, with 56 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
