Site/monument
Château de Marconnay
Back
The castle of Marconnay, from the XNUMXth century combines Gothic and Renaissance style, surrounded by deep moats.
Catering on site. Beautiful XNUMXth century dwelling to which a Renaissance-inspired wing was added in the XNUMXth century.
Steeped in history, it belonged in particular to Charlotte de Vernoux, lady-in-waiting to Madame de Montespan. Enclosed in a quadrilateral bordered by ditches, protected by towers, this residence is a perfect example of the small feudal fortress where the Gothic is combined with the art of the Renaissance. It has a postern and the remains of a drawbridge.
Do not miss to go inside to discover an exhibition of old tools.
