Origin and history
The Château d'Ordon is a building located in the commune of Saint-Loup-d'Ordon, in the department of Yonne, in the region Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. Built mainly in the 14th and 17th centuries, it illustrates the architectural evolutions between the Middle Ages and the modern era. Its facades, roofs, and two towers (excluding recent additions), as well as its dovecote, were protected by an inscription as historical monuments in 1974.
The monument now belongs to a private company, and its current use (visits, rentals, accommodation) is not specified in the available sources. The castle is representative of Burgundian castles, often linked to the seigneurial and agricultural history of the region. Its dovecote, a protected element, underlines the economic importance of colombia farming in the rural areas of the Ancien Régime.
The location of the castle, noted with an accuracy considered "very satisfactory" (note 8/10), is attested by GPS coordinates and a postal address in the Merimée base. The Insee code of the municipality (89350) confirms its anchoring in the territory of Yonne, near Auxerre. No information is available on its historic owners or on the major events taking place there.
