About Chateau de Couches

Add to favorites

Nicknamed the Castle of Margaret of Burgundy, the Château de Couches is a medieval gem nestled in the heart of the Burgundy vineyards. This fortress, built on a rocky outcrop, immediately impresses with its imposing feudal silhouette, dominated by a massive 12th-century keep. The site is famous for the legend surrounding Margaret of Burgundy who, according to local tradition, secretly spent her final days here rather than dying at Château-Gaillard. The appeal of the visit lies in the architectural diversity of the estate: you move from the austere military style of the towers and underground passages to the elegance of the Flamboyant Gothic chapel, adorned with exquisitely sculpted decorations. Between the ramparts, the drawbridge, and the formal French gardens, the castle offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Burgundy, while remaining on a human scale and welcoming, inviting visitors to stroll and explore at their leisure.

Tip for an even more exceptional visit.

Don't miss the tasting: The château is also a wine estate. Take the time to visit the medieval cellars and taste the wines of the "Couches" appellation (especially the white wines and Crémant de Bourgogne) produced on site. It's the perfect opportunity to combine historical and gastronomic heritage.
