This place is truly deserted. Apart from one or two houses, everything is empty. Even the church is still standing, but it's locked. Despite everything, it has something magical about it.

Fontenoy-le-Château actually has many interesting old buildings, which unfortunately are mostly in a state of disrepair. The old church, however, is in a well-renovated condition.

The imposing building is located on a huge fenced-in property right next to the canal. Is it really a "chateau"? I couldn't find anything about it.

At the beginning of September 2024, there was little to be seen of a lake. Water had been drained and there was mud and old logs everywhere.
