En un regard
Le château en bref
Château de la Houssaye is located in Malay-le-Grand, in the Yonne department. A building dating from the 15th to 18th centuries, constructed of cliquart sandstone and flint, it retains the Noroît and Surôit towers, the Colombier tower, the Chapelle tower, a barrel-vaulted cellar with a round arch, a curtain wall with a turning tower and a hoarding, all evidence of the late medieval constructions. The estate was acquired in 1426 by Dreux de Vielzchastel; the Barbisy family were lords of the manor from the 16th to the 18th century, after which the property passed to Bourrienne in 1809. A private property restored since 1965 by its current owners, it is described as not open to visitors.
