Origin and history
The château de ContrÉglise is an emblematic building of the 2nd half of the 18th century, built between 1745 and 1787 by Louis-Gabriel Aymonet de ContrÉglise, captain of cavalry and knight of Saint-Louis. This monument reflects the architecture of the period's pleasure houses, with a body of rectangular houses with a hipped roof, a base, and rectangular bays. As early as April 1789, a revolt for the French Revolution broke out, marking its political history before its sale as a national good in 1792.
In the 19th century, the castle underwent important transformations: renovation of exterior coatings and creation of interior painted decorations. Integrated into a farm, he lost part of his second work but retained remarkable elements such as the outside staircase. Its original plan, between courtyard, common and meadow, illustrates the adaptation of rural castles to local economic needs.
Ranked a historic monument in 2011, the castle of ContrÉglise today embodies both aristocratic and agricultural heritage. Its inscription specifically concerns the house body and the outside staircase, testifying to its architectural and historical importance in the department of Haute-Saône.
