This fort mansion, built in the fifteenth century, was transformed in the eighteenth century into a beautiful castle with baroque style. In the nineteenth century, other renovations were made: the dormer windows of the towers are rebuilt in neo-gothic style, the stucco in the large lounge, vandalized during passage des Prussiens are renovated in 1870, completely. During the Second World War, the castle was requisitioned by the Germans, in order to place officers and services. They are the Americans who occupied it. In 1946, the castle is listed in the inventory of Historical Monuments. It belongs to the family of Saint-Seine. The welcome from the owner, Roland of Saint-Seine, is charming. During the visit, you will discover the chapel, the vaulted cuisine, the large lounge. A journey to the time of Louis XV! The interior is stunning: stucco walls decorated marble, ceilings 7-8 metres high, sculpted, gilded. The park, lined with Burgundy, is huge. It is possible to stay in the castle: 5 rooms are designed for tourists. Authentic, large, with a beautiful antique furniture, decorated by engravings and paintings over time, they overlook the moat and the park. A magical place, out of time.
