Established halfway up a wooded hill on the site of an ancient Roman post, in direct visibility with Vézelay, the feudal castle of Bazoches, built in the 12th century, was acquired in 1675 by the Marshal of Vauban thanks to a gratuity granted to him by Louis XIV. As soon as he was installed, Vauban made numerous alterations to the castle and transformed it into a military garrison. His descendants and current owners have carefully preserved many souvenirs of their illustrious ancestor: armour, bedroom, study and library.
