At the gates of Burgundy, in the heart of the Pays de Bresse, atop this wooded hill, the stately Chateau des Fantômes towers above the valley.It is also known under the pseudonym 'Chateau Roger Andermatt'.
The foundations of the castle date back to the second half of the 13th century. However, it was not until the turn of the 15th century that the complex was transformed into a fortified stronghold. Further renovations and extensions were carried out on the castle in the 19th century. Since the 1990s, however, it has been abandoned and rapidly fell into disrepair.
The family that owns the property today does not seem inclined to protect the building from further decay. This beautiful, fairytale-like castle could well meet the same fate as the now-vanished Chateau Miranda... The collapsed floor above one of the living rooms is already a first step.
Next to the castle stands the empty, but beautifully dilapidated family chapel. It can sometimes be found as a separate location under the name 'Chapelle Xavier'.
