En un regard
Le château en bref
At Le Thoult-Trosnay, in the Champagne Brie region south-west of the Marne, between Montmirail and Sézanne, the Château du Thoult is an early modern residence, built largely in the 17th and 18th centuries. It is today divided into two complexes: a classical part, whose façades and roofs are protected, and an older part that combines a tower and a farm building, a reminder of the agricultural role of the seigneurial estates of the Brie. A local tradition, which the sources do not date, links the site to Blanche of Navarre, Countess of Champagne, and to the youth of her son Thibaud IV of Champagne, the celebrated count-poet. However, this tradition also attaches itself to the ruins of the medieval castle of nearby Trosnay, and its connection with the present château is not established. The façades and roofs have been listed as Monuments historiques by decree of 26 August 1988. The château remains a privately owned property.
