Located in the middle of the forest in the woods overlooking the town of Saint-Victor-sur-Ouche, you can find the ruins of the Château de Marigny. I didn't dare go beyond the gate of the castle enclosure because it is marked "private property".

Incredibly beautiful little place full of medieval charm. The (quite short) tour here is definitely worth it - try to use all the paths on the map - it's worth it. The castle is currently being renovated, but is simply impressive even from the outside.

The castle can be seen from afar and a visit to the old village on a prominent hill is worthwhile.

This former mansion labeled Remarkable Garden is worth a visit with a large 18th century terraced vegetable garden, an orchard, a wetland (stream and ponds), a meadow, a belvedere and a quarry buried in the undergrowth.
