The Château de Bussy-Rabutin is a castle located in Burgundy, France, known for its association with Roger de Bussy-Rabutin, a 17th-century writer and courtier. The castle, initially constructed in the 12th century, is an example of medieval architecture with later additions. Bussy-Rabutin resided here after being exiled from the court of King Louis XIV due to his satirical writings. The castle houses a famous gallery of portraits and mirrors, painted by Bussy-Rabutin, depicting court personalities. It is open to the public, offering tours to explore its history and portrait collection, as well as gardens to wander through. The Château de Bussy-Rabutin also hosts cultural events and temporary exhibitions. It is an intriguing historical site for those interested in the history of Burgundy and aristocratic life in 17th-century France.
