This heritage site, dating back to the 12th century, offers a unique chance to step into France’s feudal past while enjoying the serenity and beauty of its setting. Founded by Robert I of Dreux, brother of King Louis VII, the castle stands as a testament to the architectural and historical evolution of the region. With its defensive walls, towering ramparts, and central keep, it exemplifies the classic medieval fortress.
The Château de Brie-Comte-Robert is distinguished not only by its architecture, but also by its function over the centuries. Initially conceived as a military fortress, it has survived the ages, becoming a seigneurial residence, then a venue for a variety of cultural events. Today, it is open to the public, offering guided tours, temporary exhibitions and themed events to bring its rich and varied history to life.
In addition to its historical interest, the château plays a crucial role in promoting local heritage. It is at the heart of a vast restoration project aimed at preserving its integrity and making it even more accessible to visitors. These conservation efforts underline the importance of protecting witnesses to our past for future generations.
