The Château de Mâlain is the seat of a lordship attested from the 11th century and among the most important in the region. The families who occupied it successively from the beginning to the Revolution – the Sombernon, the Montagu, the Beaufremont, the Mâlain, the Brulard, the Vichy – played an important role on several occasions in Burgundy and even at the court of the king.

Ascent to the castle feasible by gravel.
