Saint-Point Castle

En un regard

Le château en bref

Saint-Point Castle, also known as the Château de Lamartine, is located in the commune of Saint-Point in Saône-et-Loire, built into the slope close to the church. Its most illustrious owner was the poet Alphonse de Lamartine. It has been listed as a monument historique since September 1972 (study and drawing room). This protection was supplemented on 26 January 1989 by the listing of the façades and roofs, dining room and large drawing room, and by registration (of the outbuildings) on the same date. The outbuildings, the spiral staircase, rooms on the first floor (the neo-Gothic drawing room and the room following it, the small study of the south pavilion and its staircase, with their decoration), the park and the boundary walls were entered on the register of monuments historiques by order of 26 March 2026. It is one of the fourteen exceptional sites open to the public that have been brought together over the past twenty years or so under the "La Route des châteaux en Bourgogne du Sud" (Route of the Castles of Southern Burgundy).
