Over de locatie

Donjon des Comtes de Champagne

23 rue du Palais, 52000 Chaumont

Haute-Marne

Grand Est

Built on a natural spur overlooking the Suize valley, the keep is the only remnant of the castle of the Counts of Champagne, cradle of the city. This 19 m high square tower has retained its medieval appearance with a thickness of walls ranging from 2.60 m at the base to 1.50 m at the top. The bossing of the stones in the lower part indicates a late dating: second half of the twelfth century.
Originally a defensive work built by the lord of the castle, once surmounted by a hourd, it was later used as a prison until 1886\. Inscriptions engraved on the walls remain from this period. The Museum of Art and History of the city of Chaumont is at its feet. It has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1926.
The Medieval association restores it in value by a medieval garden and soon the visit of the rooms.
