About Château de Rully
Château de Rully is a medieval castle located in the commune of Rully in the Burgundy region of France. It was built in the 12th century and has been classified as a historical monument since 1926. The castle was originally built to protect the village of Rully and its inhabitants from invaders. The castle was built on a rocky outcrop overlooking the village and has a rectangular layout with a central courtyard. The castle features a number of architectural elements including a moat, drawbridge, towers, and a chapel. The castle has undergone a number of renovations and additions over the years, including the construction of a Renaissance-style gallery in the 16th century. Today, the Château de Rully is still owned by the family who has lived there for over 300 years. The castle is open to the public and visitors can explore the castle's interior, including its furnished rooms and the chapel. The castle's grounds also feature a vineyard, which produces white and red wines that are available for tasting and purchase. In addition to its historical significance and beautiful architecture, the Château de Rully is also known for its annual medieval festival, which takes place in the summer. During the festival, the castle grounds are transformed into a medieval village, complete with demonstrations of traditional crafts, jousting tournaments, and performances by musicians and actors in period costume.
