The castle is open again after extensive repairs and can be visited for six euros (as of June 2025).

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.

One of the houses in the village that is unfortunately falling into disrepair.

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

From this point you have a good view out over the Burgundy plain.

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.
