Origin and history
The castle of Jallerange is a building of the 3rd quarter of the 18th century, built on the initiative of Claude Nicolas Marcellin Seguin de Jallerange, lawyer and adviser between 1742 and 1751. Located in the Doubs department, it is distinguished by a regular facade and a court of honor accessible from the Grande-Rue. The estate includes wine and domestic buildings, such as a cellar, an orange shop and a registrator's house, reflecting its economic and residential role.
The gardens, a key element of the estate, are composed of two contrasting parts: a French-style garden created in 1771, structured with slope, basins, amphitheatre and charmille cradles, and an English-style garden added in 1846, housing a cooler. These spaces, classified in 1943, illustrate the evolution of landscape styles between the 18th and 19th centuries. The castle and its outbuildings were progressively protected, with a total registration in 2014 and a final ranking in 2015.
The estate preserves 18th century presses, testimonies of its wine past. Architecture and gardens, designed to extend the harmony of the house body, reflect the aristocratic tastes of the time. The castle, still located at address 14 Grande-Rue, remains a representative example of the Burgundy-franc-comtois heritage, combining residential, agricultural and aesthetic functions.
