Origin and history

The Château du Vigneau, located in Bourbon-Lancy in Saône-et-Loire, is built in the 4th quarter of the 18th century. It replaces an ancient fortified house attested from the thirteenth century, successively owned by the families of Ambly, Gévaudan, Challemoux and Folin. In 1756, Marguerite-Charlotte de Challemoux and Jean-Baptiste de Folin, president of Dole's court of accounts, had the old castle shaved to build the present, designed by architect Edme Verniquet and entrepreneur Guizot, also involved in the castle of Saint-Aubin-sur-Loire.

Alien as a national good during the French Revolution after the emigration of its owners, the castle changed hands several times. In 1930, Claude Puzenat acquired and undertook important restoration work, both on the building and on its outskirts. The interior woodwork, by a Parisian cabinetmaker, and the wrought iron ramp of the staircase, by a local craftsman (1931-1932) testify to this period. The original decor is left only with the Folin and Challemoux guns.

The castle is distinguished by its body of rectangular houses, surmounted by a slate roof and adorned with a central forebody with pediment. A terrace precedes the main façade, crossed by a stone bridge with two arches spanning a canal. Inside, the red and white pavement of the vestibule comes from a private hotel in Neuilly. Ranked a historic monument in 1978, the castle remains a private property and does not visit.
