En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château Rose, in Grosbois-en-Montagne (Côte-d'Or), stands on the west bank of the Brenne, on the site of a former fortified house (maison forte) that belonged to the de Vienne and de Bauffremont families and to Claude d'Éguilly. Étienne Bernardon, councillor at the Parlement of Dijon, had the oldest buildings constructed around 1583; his grandson Nicolas Perreney, président at the Parlement, enlarged the building around 1700, giving it its present name, taken from the colour of its render. In the 18th century, Claude-Irénée Perreney fitted out outbuildings to house the library of Louis Quarré de Quintin, a procureur who died in 1768, continuing to enrich it until his own death in 1840. The château was restored in 1835; at the end of the 19th century, Jeanne d'Harcourt, Countess of La Tour du Pin, added a neo-Gothic wing. Classical in style, with one upper storey and a mansard attic, it is roofed with slate and tiles, with hipped ends and gables.
