En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de Vignoles, in the Empire style, succeeded a fortified house that belonged to Jacques de Lugny in 1452; in 1565, the canons of Châlons sold their motte to Jean Parizot. In 1854, Alfred de Vergnette de Lamotte bought the property and had the present château built during the 19th century. The town of Beaune acquired it in 1970. The L-shaped building combines several wings on a raised ground floor and semi-sunken cellars, with two storeys, one of them an attic level, under hipped mansard roofs covered with slate and pierced with dormer windows. The north wing was damaged during the Second World War (1939–1945). A round dovecote from the original building survives, standing alone in a neighbouring meadow. The château now houses an equestrian centre.
