En un regard
Le château en bref
Château de Missery, in the Côte-d'Or, succeeds a stronghold documented from 1360, which was given in 1460 to the hospital of Dracy-Saint-Loup; Jehan de Maulain held the lordship in 1498. Destroyed by military troops in 1594, the almost ruined building was bought in 1752 by Jean-Claude-Baptiste de Suremain de Flammerans, councillor at the parlement, who kept the four surviving towers to build the present château. In 18th-century style, it stands on a rectangular platform surrounded by water-filled moats and flanked by round towers with battered bases, close to a Romanesque chapel adorned with the arms of the Mâlain family. It was partially listed as a Monument historique by decree of 18 December 1981 (entrance gateway, façades, roofs, twin towers, staircases with wrought-iron balustrades, moats, ground-floor drawing room and painted panelling of the north-west tower).
