Origin and history
The house or residence called "Le Château", located in Saulx in Haute-Saône, is a building built between the 3rd quarter of the 18th century and the 1st quarter of the 19th century. This monument is distinguished by its living room on the first floor, decorated with panelling and wallpapers made by the Joseph Dufour and Cie manufacture, a rare testimony of decorative art of the time. The estate also includes a press, a dovecote, as well as wrought iron gates, characteristic elements of the bourgeois or seigneurial properties of the region.
The castle has been the subject of successive protections: its living room was classified as historical monuments in 1991 for its exceptional decoration, while the rest of the house, including its outbuildings and portals, was registered the same year. In 2013, the old park, marked by a closed rectangular garden, a water room and a unique stone fence in Franche-Comté, was also registered. These measures highlight the heritage value of the site, both for its architecture and for its landscaping.
Although the property is now shared between private hands and the commune, its history reflects the evolution of aristocratic or bourgeois residences in Burgundy-Franche-Comté. The fence of the park, consisting of stone poles drilled for wooden barriers, is a rare example in the region, illustrating the local techniques of delimitation of spaces at the turn of the 19th century. No information is available on the original owners or the precise uses of the castle before its protection.
