Château d'Antigny

About

The Château d'Antigny is a castle dating back to the 12th, 17th and 18th centuries, classified as a historical monument in 1993, located on the site Antigny-le-Château, commune of Foissy (Côte-d'Or).

Description: Not far from Arnay-le-Duc (7 km east by RD 17), it dominates the hamlet of Antigny-le-Château on the southeast; the entrance is made on the southwest side by a gate, via a treed aisle after taking a vicinal path. Dated from the 12th century, the oldest elements are parallel to the present castle, northeast side, including a ruined quadrangular tower and walls of high thickness. The current building is diamond-shaped. A large round tower in medium apparatus, with mâchicoulis and 15th century conical roof, marks the southern tip. It is joined by a house of the eighteenth (former stables) and a chapel. The house body and the simple nave chapel form the southeast side. The southwest side, whose entrance is a small single-storey building, occupies the square of old courtesines and a porch tower. The eastern sides are bordered by groves. The main house body of 1624, to the northwest, is along a terrace lined with a French-style garden...
