Deep in the forests of northern Burgundy, a team of master-builders is building a C13th castle from scratch.
Reviewed By SYHighlander - Boise, United States
Workers clad in medieval clothes are building a 13th-century castle from the ground up using period tools and supplies from the surrounding forests, rocks, and dirt. The project started 22 years ago and expected to take another 15 years to complete. You are free to walk the grounds, go inside the castle, visit the support village, and ask questions. Worth the trip. Kids will find it fun and adults will be fascinated. Cafe, picnic tables, restrooms and gift shop available.

The Chateau de Chastellux belongs to the same family for a thousand years ! The oldest parts of the castle were built in the 11th century, eventhough the place has been occupied since the Roman era. The forteress has been remodeled, enlarged and embelished at all times, until nowadays. The history of the Chastellux family is inextricably linked to the history of Burgundy, France and also the one of the American Revolutionary War. The park surrounding the castle was drawn by Andre Le Notre, offering variable vantage points of the estate. July & August : The castle is open everyday except Tuesday Other months : from Wednesday to Sunday Only on guided tours, five tours a day : 10:15 ; 11:15 ; 14:30 ; 15:30 ; 16:30. (One tour takes 1:15) The park is open from Wednesday to Monday for a free visit, from 10:00 am to 18:30 pm.

A beautiful castle, the pottery made there is (and has always been) a testimony of creativity. The art exhibition which is presented (in 2020 René Moreu) is a useful meditation on the universe. BC
