This castle for sale has a rich history, with the laying of its foundation stone dating back to the year 1050. Over the centuries, it has seen several noble families pass through, including that of Nicolas Rolin, chancellor to the Duke of Burgundy, who carried out major restoration work in the 15th century. In the 18th century, the castle passed to the Clermont-Tonnerre family, who further transformed it by founding a glassworks. In 1794, following the guillotining of their son, the properties were confiscated, dismembered and sold, and the château ended up being subdivided into several dwellings. Restoration, renovation and conservation works followed one after the other over the years until the most recent renovation in 2005, which brought this incredible period estate to its current excellent state of preservation.
