Origin and history
The castle of Sermange is an 18th century building located in the Jura department, Burgundy-Franche-Comté. Its construction spanned between 1717 and 1727, reflecting a regional architectural style inspired by Louis XIV, with a hipped roof and a third level in addition. The central building, framed by communes, opens onto a courtyard of honor accessible by a monumental gate.
In 1762, the castle underwent a first modernization including portals, chapel and some panelling. At the beginning of the 20th century, two wings were added to the house body, and the chapel was enriched with stucco and wall paintings. Interior retains remarkable decorative elements, such as French ceilings and grey stone fireplaces decorated with stucco.
Ranked a historic monument in 2000, the castle of Sermange protects all its buildings, its interior decorations, as well as the closing walls of the courtyards and the park. Its architecture and layout illustrate the evolution of tastes and techniques over nearly three centuries, from its foundation to its recent transformations.
