Beautifully restored with all modern day comforts, surrounded by moat and its own lime trees, 6 ensuite bedrooms and room for more. Library, salon, dining room, chapel. Several rooms with grand fire places. Great courtyard and outside living area. 6 acres, stream and several outbuildings. This beautiful medieval castle is situated on the borders of the nature reserve Morvan, west of Dijon just over half an hour by car east of Nevers. 3 hours from Paris by car or train. Shops within 5 minutes. 30 minutes to A77 motorway. Weather conditions are even favorable to the over all mild climate in Burgundy: The micro climate of the area guarantees more sun, less rain, and hardly any wind. Its rich history has been recorded extensively. It had numerous influential owners up to the French Revolution of 1789. In the mid 19th century it became an educational institute introducing the new agricultural techniques from England to the farmers in Burgundy. One of the wings was rebuilt in that period with the newly developed techniques of architect Eiffel, who later became famous with the Eiffel tower at the Paris World Exhibition in 1887. The yearly music festival “Été Musical en Sud Morvan” has its closing concert in the courtyard of the castle, an event that may be continued by the new owner.
