Germolles castle
In 1380, Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, bought the stronghold of Germolles for his wife Margaret of Flanders.
The Duchess transformed it into a luxurious home with the help of the finest sculptors and artists of the Burgundian School (Claus Sluter, Jean de Beaumetz). The tour includes the cellar, the lower chapel, the two towers guarding the entrance which are the remains of the original fortress, the great reception room, the ducal chapel and apartments, as well as those of the courtiers.
The painted and sculptured décors, including the floor tiles, demonstrate the quality of the château. The hamlet adjoining the château and a 19th century park set out in the English style complete the setting. Germolles is the only country estate of the Dukes of Burgundy that has been preserved so extensively.
