This castle is one of the best preserved residences of the Dukes of Burgundy.

In the 12th century, the Sires de Germolles built a barn on the Roman road between Beaune and Cluny, which was later transformed into a fortified house. The château became the property of Philippe le Hardi, who gave it to his wife Marguerite de Flandre. It is one of the best-preserved residences of the Dukes of Burgundy, and one of the few princely palaces from the Middle Ages still standing. A guided tour of the château, which has been awarded the "Maison des illustres" label, includes its magnificent English park, restored high chapel, châtelet and cellar.

Pour une visite où se mêlent rigueur historique et amour du patrimoine, Germolles et son guide-conférencier M. Pinette constituent un incontournable de la Bourgogne du Sud ! Le château est remarquable, les explications claires et précises. On ressent tout le plaisir de partager l'histoire du lieu. À refaire avec plaisir !
À bientôt
