Origin and history
Chaudenay-le-Château Castle, located in the rural village of Côte-d'Or, dates from the 13th and 14th centuries according to the sources of Monumentum. Its remains, inscribed in the Historical Monuments by decree of 6 March 1950, represent an ancient medieval fortress characteristic of Burgundy.
The commune of Chaudenay-le-Château, attached to the canton of Arnay-le-Duc, is marked by an agricultural and forestry occupation (57.4% of agricultural land in 2018). The castle, now in ruins, is part of a rural landscape where Saint Peter's Church and a school museum recall local history.
During the Revolution, the commune briefly bore the name Chaudenay-la-Roche (1792-1795), reflecting the political upheavals of the time. The castle, although partially erased, remains a symbol of the Burgundian medieval heritage, in an area marked by villages with scattered habitats such as Chaudenay-le-Château (48 inhabitants in 2023).
