En un regard
Le château en bref
On land ceded in 1276 by Jean de Vergy to Duke Robert of Burgundy, a medieval fortification, ruined by the Écorcheurs in 1366, occupied the site before being taken and pillaged by Clinchamp on 18 January 1636 and then reoccupied by Gallas's army in November of the same year, during the Ten Years' War. The present château, in the classical style, was built in 1723 by Abbé Claude Jolyot (1670-1762), who skilfully exploited the slope of the land to create a garden level below the main floor, on a 20 by 15 metre base; the interior ornamentation is attributed to a Parisian ornamentalist. Restored in 1936 and again from 1942 onwards, it has been listed as a historic monument since 16 April 1948, and stands in a 6-hectare park that includes a kitchen garden.
