The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Forteresse bâtie à l'extrémité d'un éperon rocheux, ayant appartenu aux seigneurs de Duesme du 13e au 14e siècle, puis aux ducs de Bourgogne avant de devenir possession de seigneurs engagistes après la réunion à la couronne. Les guerres de Religion dégradent le château, entraînant son démantèlement en 1595, sur ordre de Henri IV, puis sa démolition en 1763. Trois fossés entourent l'édifice, appartenant à des périodes différentes. Le premier date du néolithique. Au-delà du second se trouvaient l'entrée fortifiée, les dépendances et la chapelle dont la crypte conserve des éléments gallo-romains de réemploi. Le donjon se dressait au-delà du troisième fossé.

History
Fortress built at the end of a rocky spur, which belonged to the lords of Duesme from the 13th to the 14th century, then to the dukes of Burgundy before becoming the possession of enfeoffed lords after its union with the crown. The Wars of Religion damaged the castle, leading to its dismantling in 1595, by order of Henri IV, then its demolition in 1763. Three ditches surrounded the building, belonging to different periods. The first dates from the neolithic. Beyond the second were the fortified entrance, the outbuildings and the chapel whose crypt preserves reused Gallo-Roman elements. The keep stood beyond the third ditch.
