Tips from the Community
This medieval castle was extensively remodeled in the 16th century in the Renaissance style and has been undergoing restoration for about twenty years. The moats still remain on two of the four sides, the latter being delimited by round towers where the cannon openings can still be seen. The castle boasts rich Renaissance decorations, both exterior and interior. These are sculpted (Burgundian cabbages, columns with Corinthian capitals, friezes, gargoyles, draperies, etc.) or painted (puttis, animals, or floral motifs on the ceilings). There is even a spiral staircase. The gardens, with a French-style section, an English-style section, and a conservatory orchard, are also charming. The castle can be visited throughout the spring and summer.

This is a very clear viewpoint towards the south, at the edge of the plateau overlooking Noidant-Châtenoy. It is also an excellent astronomical observation post (very little light pollution and no tall trees nearby). It can be reached by coming from the Noidant corniches path, which makes a nice sequence.

Located at the crossroads of several roads, this large washhouse retains its washing basin. Its two gable walls have large openings to ventilate and light the interior and reveal its metal structure.
