    At a time when there was no road or bridge to facilitate passage, the Château de Challeau protected the entrance to the Gatinais.

    The first Château de Challeau was a fortified building built in the 11th century to the 12th century with a curtain wall 6m high and 1.3m thick which encloses an area of approximately 30m by 24m. Small in size, its particularity is due to the rounded shape at the base of the watchtowers. It is one of the rare fortifications built on the orders of Philippe 1er which still remains in a correct state today. The site can be visited during Heritage Days.
