Chateau de Ray-Sur-Saône
Set on a rocky promontory, the Château de Ray-sur-Saône is a building of remarkable architecture, nestling in the heart of six hectares of wooded parkland, a veritable jewel case of greenery. The site offers an exceptional panoramic view of the village of Ray-sur-Saône, a small town full of character in Burgundy-Franche-Comté. An emblematic feature of the landscape, its powerful silhouette dominates the Saône valley.
Built in the Middle Ages, Ray was a fortress belonging to powerful lords. Largely destroyed by the wars of the 17th century, the castle was rebuilt on the ruins of the old fortress. It was in the 18th century that it took on the classical appearance it still has today. The gardens also bear witness to the various landscaping developments that have followed the Château's evolution. The majestic site has been fully listed as a Historic Monument since 2009.
Since October 2018, the Department of Haute-Saône has been engaged in a major restoration programme. During the works, the Château will remain open!
The château can only be visited on guided tours, which must be booked in advance.
