Château de Vauvillers

En un regard

Le château en bref

In the centre of the village of Vauvillers (Haute-Saône), the château was built around 1723 by Gaspard de Clermont-Tonnerre, Marquis de Cruzy and de Vauvillers, after his family had united the two seigneuries of the village, one in the Franche-Comté and one in Lorraine. The complex consists of two identical, parallel buildings that mirror each other, roofed with polychrome glazed tiles typical of the region. The south building contains an interior staircase with an elegant wrought-iron handrail, and a former gatehouse opens onto the street. The façades, roofs, staircase and gatehouse have been listed as historic monuments since 1980. Having become public property, the château has housed Vauvillers town hall since 1823.
