Ancy-le-Franc Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle of Ancy-le-Franc is a pure marvel of the French Renaissance. It’s a real palace! A gem you wouldn't expect to find in the countryside. The richness of its decoration is just breathtaking. For example, he has the largest collection of Renaissance murals, which makes him the direct rival of Fontainebleau. It was built between 1542 and 1550 for Antoine Clermont-Tonnerre, lieutenant general, master of water and forest and brother-in-law of Diane de Poitiers (Diane was the favorite of the king of France Henri II). This Renaissance gem is the masterpiece of the Italian architect Sebastiano Serlio, master of symmetry and 16th century architecture, called by Francis I to join his court. For more information, please visit the following website: chateau-ancy.com/fr The castle is open every day except Monday. For the visit, it will be necessary to pay an amount of 13 euros.
