Bougey Castle

En un regard

Le château en bref

Bougey Castle, in Haute-Saône, is a castle complex founded in the early fourteenth century and profoundly altered over the centuries. Mentioned as early as the twelfth century through its lords, the site passed into the hands of several families, including the Grammont, the Camelin and the Serrey, before the marriage of 1802 established the Guyot de Saint Michel family there on a lasting basis; the family still owns it. The remodelling of the last quarter of the sixteenth and the seventeenth century, followed by the works of 1865–1866, produced an ensemble combining medieval features, Renaissance elements, classical interventions and agricultural buildings. It retains a fortified gatehouse, a round tower, a south wing, an eastern portal and a seventeenth-century chimneypiece. Restored since 1993 with the support of the Association pour la sauvegarde du château de Bougey, it opens to guided tours in summer and hosts exhibitions and shows. Partially listed as a monument historique in 1979, it has been almost entirely listed since 2020.
