The castral complex is the subject of a classification as a historical monument by decree of 9 December 19641. Location The castle is located in the hollow of the valley of the Orge less than two hundred meters north of the river bed and about a hundred meters above sea level on clay ground. Located in a strategic location halfway along the road from Paris to Chartres2., the castle complex is at the heart of what was the immense forest of the Carnutes in antiquity. Although largely cleared for agriculture, this forest remains very dense around Dourdan in the Middle Ages until today and makes it a popular hunting ground for its various occupants. Today, it faces the Place Charles de Gaulle occupied by the hall and bordered by the church of Saint-Germain d’Auxerre.
