This medieval castle was extensively remodeled in the 16th century in the Renaissance style and has been undergoing restoration for about twenty years. The moats still remain on two of the four sides, the latter being delimited by round towers where the cannon openings can still be seen. The castle boasts rich Renaissance decorations, both exterior and interior. These are sculpted (Burgundian cabbages, columns with Corinthian capitals, friezes, gargoyles, draperies, etc.) or painted (puttis, animals, or floral motifs on the ceilings). There is even a spiral staircase. The gardens, with a French-style section, an English-style section, and a conservatory orchard, are also charming. The castle can be visited throughout the spring and summer.

A beautiful local recreation area for hiking, swimming, and other recreational activities. The path around the lake is more suitable for hiking than cycling. We still managed it, though.

The Church of Saint Maurice was built between 1834 and 1839 according to plans by the Dijon architect Fénéon-Damotte. It follows the traditions of neoclassical churches built in the first half of the 19th century. A façade bell tower is preceded by a peristyle with a pediment supported by four Doric columns. The church has the unique feature of being built on submerged oak trees, as it is actually located in the old branch of the Saône, which was diverted.

This vast expanse of water of 290 ha allows the practice of many activities. If you have a sporty soul, a 16 km route even allows you to go around it on foot or by mountain bike.

The church with its neoclassical façade was rebuilt around 1900. The 15th-century chapel and the Gothic bell tower (1437), which once stood 80m high, have been preserved. Inside, you can see a 12th-century baptismal font and some beautiful statues. They illustrate the importance of religious art in this village, which had no fewer than six monasteries.

Since 2016, Champlitte has also become a reference city of the Via Francigena in France. An information and development office for the route has been set up near the town hall.

The name Champlitte recalls the turbulent history of the village, which was once a border town: in the 3rd century, the Lites who had fled from the Alemanni settled here. Their settlement was called "Champ des lites". Champlitte includes a Renaissance castle rebuilt in the 18th century, a number of winegrowers' houses and the so-called "Spanish" houses.
