Description

The feudal castle of Bazoches, built in the twelfth century, has a trapezoidal architecture consisting of four towers and a keep surrounding an interior courtyard. Successively owned by the lords of Bazoches, Chastellux, Montmorillon and la Perrière, Bazoches was acquired in 1675 by Marshal de Vauban. As soon as he settled in Bazoches, Vauban made numerous adjustments there and transformed it into a military garrison. It was in Bazoches, notably in the large gallery of the recently reconstructed castle, that Vauban, founder of the Génie, carried out studies and plans for more than three hundred works and strongholds and that he developed methods of attack and defence. defense of fortifications which made him an undisputed master of siege strategy and military architecture. It was also there that his reflections on a host of subjects that he humorously called his “Idleness” were meditated on and written down. Finally, it was in Bazoches that he wrote the daring “Dîme Royale” whose distribution was immediately banned. Descendants of Charlotte de Vauban, eldest daughter of the Marshal, the current owners carefully preserve, among rich furniture, numerous memories of their illustrious ancestor.

Beautiful monument very well maintained by the descandants

A beautiful residence, a beautiful monument, very well maintained by the descendants. A very interesting visit, an educational route, full of perfectly presented treasures, even if away from the main roads. The visit is definitely worth the detour.

Magnificent view of Vezelay and very beautiful castle

Bazoches Castle is a very beautiful castle offering a magnificent view of Vezelay in particular. The most appreciable element of this castle is that Vauban's apartments have been maintained as they were originally and the tour allows us to visit them. The people present answered our questions and were very friendly and accessible. I recommend this visit!

Very beautiful castle and very friendly people

Very beautiful castle and the people who welcome us are very friendly, Vauban could not have lived in our time. I recommend it to parents with teenagers for the history and above all go visit the church in the village where Vauban rests

Splendid setting full of history

Visit to the castle during a wedding, splendid setting, steeped in history. (I recommend taking the children's guide so you can have fun finding clues in each room of the castle visit ehe) There is even a wax statue of Louis XIV in one of the rooms. Very successful !
