Origin and history
Neublans Castle, first mentioned at the end of the 11th century, was ruined in the 17th century before being rebuilt in the early 18th century. Acquired in 1703 by the Froissard de Broissia family, it incorporates medieval remains like two towers, while adopting an architectural style inspired by Italy, with brick facades and colossal pilasters with Corinthian capitals. The French Revolution interrupted the work, leaving the castle unfinished, but interior elements, such as the large paneled living room, still remain today.
The building is distinguished by its rare use of brick in the area, originally intended to receive a coating to highlight the scholarly design of the facade. The commons, including stables and dovecote, form an exceptional ensemble, with serbian-prescribed stables and stalls carved from clawheads. These developments, described in an expert's report of 1793, reflect the refinement of the home, both in its design and in its realization. The Italian influence is also found in the interior decorations and the buildings of the courtyard.
Ranked a historic monument in 2015, the castle includes the house, the communes (passengers, stables, dovecote, colonnades) and a delimited park. Despite inaccessible family archives, its architecture, combining medieval heritage and Baroque innovations, bears witness to a pivotal period between local tradition and European influences. The protection also covers the fences and fence walls of the park, highlighting the heritage importance of the whole.
