Origin and history
Mantry Castle, located in the eponymous village of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, was entirely rebuilt between 1680 and 1690, during the last quarter of the seventeenth century. This monument illustrates the civil architecture of this period, marked by a search for balance between functionality and aesthetics. The main house, of rectangular plane elongated on a south-north axis, incorporates a stair tower of the same shape, reflecting the constructive cannons of the era.
Divided into two spans by a split wall, the castle has a vaulted underlay in a cradle, while the ground floor and the upper floor are capped with French. The hipped roofs, covering both the house body, its staircase and the buildings of commons, highlight the stylistic unit of the ensemble. Among the remarkable decorative elements, chimneys are distinguished by their quality, showing the care taken to the interior details.
The estate also includes outbuildings and a park surrounded by a fence wall. These elements, as well as the dual-vantail entry portal, were protected by a registration under the Historic Monuments in 2013. The precise address, 15 Rue de Recanoz, confirms its anchoring in the rural landscape of Jura, a department on which the town of Mantry depends (code Insee 39310).
