Château de Saint-Fargeau, dating back to the 10th century, is as many ancient castles, originally built as a hunting lodge. The château became famous by the book ‘Au plaisir de Dieu‘ de Jean d'Ormesson.
He wrote about his childhood experiences at the castle. A copy of his book remains on display at the château.
The château is a mixture of 15th and 17th century architecture. The latter by François Le Vau, one of the architects of the Château de Versailles.
Since 1979 the château is owned by Michel Guyot and used for cultural events.
