En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de Bussemont, in Saint-Lumier-la-Populeuse (Marne), was begun in 1664 by the Tournebulle family on the site of an earlier fortress. Henri de Wignacourt married Marie-Anne de Tournebulle in 1722. Jean-Baptiste Ange Morillot acquired the estate in 1864 and altered its upper parts before the Almoayyed family bought the dilapidated building in 2011 and restored it. A three-arched bridge over the moat was rebuilt in 2020. Built of stone and brick, it comprises a central block flanked by two tall wings with slate roofs, within a 36-hectare estate that includes a 19th-century chapel with a Byzantine dome.
