Château et collégiale Saint-Jean

On the heights of Grancey-le-Château-Neuvelle stands the former Seigneurial castle, closely linked to the nearby collegiate church of Saint-Jean.

For several centuries, this site was the residence of the lords of Grancey and then of the powerful de Neufchâtel family. From this dominant position, they controlled a territory on the borders of Burgundy and Champagne.

The collegiate church of Saint-Jean was founded to house a college of canons responsible for religious services and the spiritual life of the seigneurial estate.

Now privately owned, it is not open to the public. However, the collegiate church of Saint-Jean can be visited during the summer months on guided tours organised by the village tourist information office.
