Built in the 18th century and enhanced over generations, this estate is a remarkable architectural ensemble, rich in history and surrounded by a preserved natural environment.
A HISTORIC CASTLE OF ABOUT 600 M² The castle offers approximately 600 m² of living space spread over 5 levels and 18 rooms, with ceiling heights reaching up to 4.30 meters. It impresses with its generous volumes and remarkable architectural features: period wood paneling, herringbone parquet floors, fireplaces, decorated ceilings, and characterful reception rooms. The estate is notably linked to Charles-Joseph Philibert Grobost and architect Alphonse Delacroix, a major figure in Comtois architecture.
REMARKABLE DECOR AND ARTWORKS The property retains many decorative elements that reflect its history, including a remarkable series of monumental paintings dedicated to the myth of Eros and Psyche, displayed in the castle’s gallery.
A PRIVATE CHAPEL Set apart from the castle in a wooded environment, there is a private chapel, a particularly rare feature in a property of this kind. Its architecture and preserved atmosphere give it a unique character and offer potential for heritage, cultural, or event use, subject to necessary authorizations.
AN INDEPENDENT FARMHOUSE OF ABOUT 281 M² The estate also includes an independent farmhouse of about 281 m², comprising 9 rooms, a barn, and various ancillary spaces. A bread oven, fireplaces, vaults, and cellars complete this ensemble, offering many possibilities for development and enhancement.

OVER 10 HECTARES OF PARKLAND The estate covers 10.31 hectares in a preserved natural setting, including woods and ancient trees. Stone walls, a tree-lined park, dressed stone bridges, and vaulted cellars contribute to the exceptional character of this property.
