Coat of arms, Grande Salle, Chateau de Chateauneuf, Burgundy, France

Reproduction of the coat of arms of Philippe Pot, with lions, helmet and swords, on the wall of the Grande Salle, a ceremonial room used for public meetings, receptions and banquets, in the main 15th century building of the Chateau de Chateauneuf, or Chateauneuf-en-Auxois, a 12th and 15th century castle, Cote d'Or, Burgundy, France. The original painted coat of arms of Philippe Pot on the ceremonial fireplace was damaged in the French Revolution. Originally built in 1132 by Jean de Chaudenay, the castle was modified from a medieval fortress to a residence from 1457 under Philippe le Bon, Duc de Bourgogne, or Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, who gave the castle to his advisor Philippe Pot, 1428-93. The castle sits on an outcrop overlooking the valley of the Canal de Bourgogne and is listed as a historic monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
