Nice view of the city, located. near the remains of the old feudal castle. We discover the old houses of this medieval city as well as the castle of La Motte in the background.

Ancient medieval town of Gâtinais, the village of Château-Renard is a small town steeped in history housing numerous historic monuments and old houses, including the Jeanne d'Arc house dating from the 15th century which now houses the Tourist Office , as well as the old church dating from the 12th and 13th centuries perched on the hill overlooking the town and surrounded by the ruins of the fortified castle, but also the Château de la Motte, the first octagonal-shaped medieval castle. The latter was first built in 1120 and notably welcomed Charles VIII in 1429. A century later, it was François I who signed there in 1539 the edict of the Blanque which brought about the creation of the Royal Lottery, ancestor of the National Lottery. The castle was dismantled on the orders of King Charles IX in 1568 during the Wars of Religion when it belonged to the family of Gaspard de Coligny, the famous Protestant admiral assassinated during the Saint Bartholomew's Day massacre. In 1609, Coligny's daughter rebuilt the castle on the foundations of the old medieval fortress. This castle, one of the most beautiful in the department, is unfortunately not very visible from the road, because it is hidden behind tall vegetation. Private property, it is not open to visits.

The first castle of the Middle Ages in the shape of an octagon, which was built in 1121. It was dismantled during the wars of religion on the orders of Charles IX then rebuilt by Louise de Coligny, the daughter of Admiral de Coligny, murdered during the Saint-Barthélémy Day massacre.
