View of the Château de Berzé-le-Châtel
Highlight • Castle
(also known as Forteresse de Berzé) is the largest and best-preserved medieval castle in Southern Burgundy.
The complex dates back to a 10th-century castrum and was strategically built on a rocky outcrop to protect the nearby powerful Abbey of Cluny.
The fortress consists of three
ring walls and features 13 towers (including two keeps/donjons) as well as an imposing gatehouse. The heart of the interior is a remarkable Carolingian chapel.

This makes it the largest and best preserved fortress in Burgundy.
The castle is made up of three ring walls. Each houses various gardens, orchards and vegetable gardens, as well as a French garden with box trees, statues, hornbeams and large yews cut like chess pieces. From the terraces, there is a magnificent view of the Lamartinien valley with its vineyards in the background.

Cluny
Highlight • Settlement
The last abbey church (Cluniac 3) was the world's largest Romanesque basilica and, until the construction of today's St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, the largest church in Christendom. The church had seven towers.
Although large parts of the building were destroyed, the remaining relics are absolutely remarkable and make a visit to Cluny an unforgettable experience!
