En un regard
Le château en bref
Château de Châtillon-sur-Lison, at Cussey-sur-Lison in the Doubs, occupies an outlier hill overlooking the confluence of the Loue and the Lison. Its existence is attested from the 12th century, linked to the house of Châtillon (now extinct); the present structure dates back to the 13th century. In the 15th century, the estate passed to the Montagu family through Ottonin de Montagu. Major renovation campaigns took place in the 16th and 18th centuries. The residence, laid out in an arc with a projecting central tower and a return wing to the west, retains three rooms with Louis XVI decoration. The château and certain outbuildings, together with the terraces, gardens, park and archaeological site, are registered (inscrits) as historic monuments.
