Saint Philip and Saint James Church, Châteauneuf

Highlight • Religious Site

The church of Châteauneuf is mentioned for the first time in 1303 in a recognition of cens (rent) of a house located in front of the church of the city of Châteauneuf (ecclesie Ide ville Castri novi). If the first textual mention dates back to the beginning of the 14th century, the current building was built at the very end of the 15th century by Philippe Pot, an important personage of the court of the Dukes of Burgundy who ordered important works, at the castle but also in church. Dendrochronological analysis has determined that the structure of the building was put in place from 1491. Originally, Châteauneuf depended on the cure of Vandenesse-en-Auxois, in. below the plateau. The church of Saint-Philippe-et-Saint-Jacques probably became the parish capital shortly before 1572. The church, with a Latin cross plan, is sober and presents classic Gothic architecture from the end of the Middle Ages. The single nave, covered with ribbed vaults, is flanked by two chapels opening onto the third bay: the seigneurial chapel of Saint-Joseph to the north and the chapel of the Virgin (previously the chapel of Saint-Jean) to the south. Various alterations and restorations since the end of the 18th century have slightly modified the medieval building, in particular the bell tower (destroyed by lightning in 1779) or the chapel of the Virgin in 1890. The paintings of this chapel and the choir are from this era. The last restoration dates from 2011

Château de Châteauneuf

Highlight • Castle

You will understand the strategic importance of this magnificent medieval castle because as you travel along the canal you will see it from afar. It occupies a strategic position where it completely dominates the valley. You can visit this bastion, as well as the neighboring village which bears the same name. For the visit and for more information visit this website: chateauneuf.bourgognefranchecomte.eu

Vandenesse-en-Auxois — Canal lock and port

Highlight • Structure

Pretty Burgundy village of VANDENESSE on the Burgundy canal, well flowered in summer,
- at the foot of ChateauNeuf on the mountain side,
- its port of barges on the Burgundy Canal,
- a picnic area,
- restaurants for all budgets ...

It is the ideal bicycle / hike intersection point for a visit along the canal via the towpath.
We pass through many locks with their lock keepers' houses inhabited all year round and nicely decorated.
