Origin and history
The Château de la Clayette is a medieval building located in the commune of La Clayette, in the department of Saône-et-Loire, in Burgundy-Franche-Comté. Built on an irregular rectangular platform, it is surrounded by moat connected to a 30 hectare pond. Its architecture combines defensive elements, such as square and round towers, and 18th-century buildings, including a pavilion and a house body.
From the 14th century until the Revolution, the castle was the heart of one of the most influential seigneuries in the region. Since 1722, he has belonged to the Noblet d'Anglure family. Its exteriors, including the park, stables, orange shop and Paray Tower, are accessible by guided tour. Since 2019, the Saint Rock festival has been held there every July, and the site has been highlighted in regional tourism campaigns.
The castle enjoys multiple protections as historical monuments. Its outbuildings, such as medieval kitchens and the court of honour, reflect its historical importance. Previously, his access was limited to specific events, such as European Heritage Days or summer shows. In 2021, the department used its image to promote the brand Route 71 - Burgundy du Sud.
