En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de Marigny-le-Cahouët, in the Côte-d'Or, is a medieval fortress built on a Burgundian plan. Construction began in the 12th century; it was strengthened in the 15th–17th centuries in response to developments in warfare (culverins, arquebuses, muskets, cannons), then remodelled in the 19th century. Fed by the River Lochère, its moats are crossed by a drawbridge and a carriage gateway at the end of a tree-lined avenue. Privately owned by the Rougé family, it cannot be visited, not even during the Heritage Days (Journées du patrimoine). The château has served as a setting for several films: 'Ni vu, ni connu' (1958), 'Angélique, marquise des anges' (1964), 'Clérambard' (1969) and an adaptation of 'The Three Musketeers' (1961).
