Le château en bref
Its first known lord, Odo d'Argilly, dates back to 1285; the château of Auvillars-sur-Saône was fortified in 1409 by Jean de Saint-Hilaire. Owned in 1470 by Philibert de Corcelles, lord of Poullans, it was taken and plundered in 1636 by Gallas's troops, who executed its garrison, before being repaired and altered in 1650 by Louis Gallois. In the 18th and 19th centuries the building underwent major transformations: the addition of an eastern pavilion, farm outbuildings, a laundry and a dovecote. Gothic elements, round towers and defensive features survive in this residence, now described as a modern château.
