Origin and history

The house of the Chemeraults in Brux, classified as a Historical Monument, is a typical example of the small manor houses of the 15th century in the south of Vienna. His archaeological analysis reveals three phases of construction: a first between the 15th and 16th centuries, then modifications in the 19th and 20th centuries. The original building, rectangular and flanked by a tower, was partially rebuilt after 1837, while a wing in return for square was added to the east. Today, the estate combines noble houses and agricultural outbuildings, surrounded by vestiges of a enclosure (wallspans, ruined tower, classical gate).

The eastern façade, divided into two spans, has ground-grided windows, while the western façade, more heterogeneous, incorporates re-use elements. Inside, a vestibule leads to a chapel illuminated by a geminied bay and a large room housing three 15th century chimneys, characteristic of the era. The attic houses a firm chevron frame. This house, representative of modest seigneurial residences, is distinguished by its geographical isolation in the south of the department.

The outbuildings, organized in two wings surrounding a courtyard, show openings with re-used mouldings. A partly abrased tower in a bell tower completes the whole. The estate, listed in the inventory in 1994 (H 1704), reflects the architectural evolution of a rural mansion over six centuries, while maintaining remarkable medieval elements such as its monumental chimneys.
