Origin and history
The Domaine de Serée, located in the commune of Saint-André-en-Morvan (Nièvre, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté), is a former relay of horses built in the 18th or 19th centuries. This type of establishment played a key role in the travel and logistics of the time, providing a place of rest and refuelling for travellers and their mounts. Its architecture and organization reflect the practical needs of pre-industrial transport.
The domain was initially attached to the castle of Chastellux, stressing its importance in the local network of communication and services. In 1993, its iconic buildings, including the sheepfold and stables, were included in the inventory of Historic Monuments by ministerial decree. This protection highlights their heritage value, both architecturally and historically, although the available sources do not specify the details of their use over the centuries.
The location of the domain, reported with an accuracy deemed "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), corresponds to the following address: 257 Domaine de Serée, 58140 Saint-André-en-Morvan. No information is provided on its current accessibility (visits, accommodation or events), or on any owners or historical figures related to its past. The data come mainly from the Merimée database and Monumentum, without additional local or regional archives.
