Pagny-le-Château (French pronunciation: [paɲi l(ə) ʃɑto]) is a commune of the Côte-d'Or department in eastern France. The village is situated between Seurre and Saint-Jean-de-Losne, in the "Val de Saône" on the RD 976.

History

Over the centuries, the village has had several names. The first one was Pancium. Afterwards, it was called Paygnay-le-Château, then Pagny-la-Brûlée. Even though the fortified castles were destroyed the village is now called Pagny-le-Château.

Château

Although the château was destroyed in 1768, there remains its Renaissance chapel dated 1536. It contains the tomb of Jean de Vienne (died 1455) and that of Jean de Longwy (died 1460) and Jeanne de Vienne (died 1472), with alabaster effigies.
