Château de Saint-Fargeau

Château de Saint-Fargeau is a 17th-century, Renaissance château located in the commune of Saint-Fargeau in the department of Yonne, in the Burgundy region of France.

In the 10th century, before the construction of the current castle, the château was originally a hunting residence. This was destroyed in the 15th century, and a castle was built on its foundations. This castle was destroyed by fire and replaced by the current castle in the 17th century, with additions and major improvements made in the 19th and 20th centuries.

The Château de Saint-Fargeau has a distinctive design. From above, the château's curtains and towers form an irregular pentagon, the corners of which are formed by six towers of pink brick. Five of the towers are topped with lanterns.
