    It is the oldest gate in the city. Built in the 12th century, Porte Châtel is part of the old ramparts that surrounded the upper town. It controlled access to the city from Mont Saint-Vanne, on which stood the very famous Benedictine abbey of Saint-Vanne.

    On this gate and on part of the rampart, elements of the medieval defences are still visible, such as meandering and loopholes.
