Found the garden more interesting than the interior of the castle.

An extraordinary vestige of the Middle Ages. The church of Saint-Hippolyte was one of the oldest fortified churches in Burgundy. It was classified as a "Historic Monument" of France in 1913. Its history and legend are palpable when you are inside the ruins.

The ruins of the Romanesque church. On September 10, 1913, the church was classified as a Historic Monument, thanks to the intervention of archaeologist Jean Virey; in 1927, the Historical Monuments consolidated its bell tower which threatened to fall. Then, the work of destruction resumes, the church being invaded by vegetation. In 2003, the commune of Bonnay became the owner of the church by buying it from an individual, for a symbolic euro.

Good for a refreshment in between

To the right in front of the ruins there are seats on a wall, which invite you to take a break in the shade. The ruin itself is worth visiting and worth exploring.

A very beautiful mystical place of silence.

The ruins of this church built in the 11th century by the Cluniacs are unusual. Located on a height, so that it can be seen from a long distance, the church was modified in the Middle Ages to be fortified following the request of the monks who wanted more protection. The lord of Brancion authorized the work in 1214. It therefore ended up being remodeled into a keep in the 13th century. You can evolve in these ruins and thus travel a little in time.

Saint Martin, to whom this church is consecrated, is - next to Saint Nicholas - probably one of the most popular saints of all. The memorial day of the former officer in the Roman army is November 11th. On the night after the famous “coat sharing”, when he surrendered half his army cloak to a freezing beggar, Jesus Christ appears to him in a dream. He then converted to Christianity and was later - initially against his will - elected Bishop of Tours (France).
