En un regard
Le château en bref
Occupied from 1368 by Étienne de Musigny, who held it from Jacques de Grandson, lord of Pesmes, the Château de Barjon passed in 1413 to the De Bulligneville family and then, around 1450, to Nicolas Bouesseau, secretary to the Duke of Burgundy, who in 1500 hosted there the Chambre des comptes of Dijon as it fled an outbreak of plague. Divided among several owners after it was bequeathed to his son Bénigne in 1505, the property was reunited in 1609 by Georges Martin de Choisey. At the end of the 18th century, restoration estimates dated 1787 attest to its ruinous state. Overlooking the Volgrain valley from the plateau, the present château has a south façade opening onto the valley and lined by a terrace, while the north façade, fitted with two towers, and the east gable, with a rectangular tower under a pavilion roof, include a semicircular tower with eight gunports arranged over three levels.
