The castle of Dampierre-en-Burly dates from the 15th and 16th centuries, when it belonged to the Cugnac family. Decorated by the painter Michel Dorigny, it was destroyed during the French Revolution. Only the clock tower, which serves as the entrance, remains of the original building. The current castle was rebuilt in the 19th century by Amédée de Béhague, an agronomist who created an estate of 2,000 hectares. The castle is not open to the public, but you can admire its architecture and gardens from the outside. You can also discover the neighboring village of Dampierre-en-Burly, which has remains of fortifications from the Middle Ages.
