Tourist Information and places to visit
Often simply called Chateauneuf, the village was once an important stopping point on the pilgrimage route through the region. It is best known for the castle in the town - the Chateau de Chateauneuf-en-Auxois - which once played an important defensive role on the road to Autun.
Chateauneuf-en-Auxois is an attractive hilltop village, with the chateau at one end of the (low) rocky spur on which the village stands. The castle and surrounding village developed in the 12th - 15th centuries (the original castle dates from 1132) and many of the houses to be seen date from that time.
The church, built later than the castle, is also worthy of a visit - it was in the 15th century that the castle abandoned its defensive role and became a residence, and the church was constructed.
The village itself contains many fine merchant houses from that period, built in the local yellow-white stone and having several interesting features and decorated facades to discover as you walk around.
Some of the bars in Chateauneuf have terraces with great views - take time to relax during your visit!
