About Château de Nemours
In the town of Nemours, at the edge of the Gâtinais south of Paris, the Château de Nemours is a fine medieval castle that has become the town's museum. Founded as a feudal stronghold in the 12th century, this handsome château with its keep and towers rises beside the river Loing, its history bound up with the counts and dukes of Nemours. Since 1903 it has housed a museum, displaying archaeology — including remarkable prehistoric finds from the sandy Gâtinais — alongside fine arts and local history. Its medieval halls make an atmospheric setting for these collections. Historic, picturesque and beautifully sited by the river, the Château de Nemours combines a fine piece of medieval architecture with a rich and varied museum, a rewarding heritage stop in the Gâtinais countryside, easily reached from Paris and the Fontainebleau forest.
