About the location

Château de Lourdon

71250 Lournand

Saône-et-Loire
Bourgogne-Franche-Comté

The castle ruins occupy a trapezoidal platform of about one hectare. Part of the base of the wall, flanked to the south by a semi-destroyed circular tower, known as the Tower of the Pigeonnier, and to the north by the Tower of the Powder Magazine, whose upper floor emerges alone from the embankments. In the middle are the remains of two buildings located in the extension of each other. A round, half-timbered tower is attached to the west end of the eastern building wall, which supports a maximum of nine high square masonry pillars of 7.50 metres. A cartridge with the arms of Lorraine and the date 1586 allow to attribute to Claude de Guise, abbot of Cluny, this imposing surface construction (13 x 40 m) known as «game of palm».
