En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de l'Aubépin, at Les Trois-Châteaux (Jura), is now a site of ruins overlooking the Bresse plain. It comprises the remains of a feudal castle of the counts of Laubespin, one of the largest fortresses in the region, which guarded the former frontier between Franche-Comté and the Kingdom of France. In 1423, the Earl of Buchan, Constable of Scotland, was reportedly released there in exchange for a ransom that included relics of Saint Garadoz. Louis XIV ordered its demolition in 1674. A more recent Chapel of Saint Garadoz survives, and the site offers a viewpoint with a picnic area and car park.
