Burgundy Castles and Châteaux

Burgundy’s architectural landscape features a diverse collection of fortifications and residential estates dating from the 11th to the 19th centuries. Highlights include the 15th-century fortress of Châteauneuf-en-Auxois, the neo-Gothic towers of La Rochepot, and the preserved 17th-century interiors of Cormatin. Several sites, such as Savigny-lès-Beaune and Meursault, combine historical military architecture with the region's viticultural heritage, while others like Montmusard showcase rare neoclassical Greek-style design.
