Château de Mâlain

On arriving in Mâlain, the castle ruins are clearly visible. Perched on a rock jutting out from the Mâlain fault and towering over the village with its imposing ruins, the castle was a seigneury first recorded in the 11th century. The families who occupied it in succession from its origins until the Revolution (the Sombernons, the Montagus, the Beaufremonts, the Mâlains, the Brulards and the Vichys) played an important role on several occasions in Burgundy and even at the king’s court. For over forty years, the castle has been gradually restored by the Mesmontois Archaeological Group (GAM). This medieval fortress, perched on the rocky outcrop overlooking the village of Mâlain, has undergone numerous restoration works and archaeological excavations, helping to breathe new life into the castle.
