Origin and history

The chateau Sattler is a residence of the 1st quarter of the 18th century, erected in Exincourt (Doubs, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté). Built in the vicinity of a 17th century farm (only one lintel remains dated 1690 and 1694), this mansion was commissioned by Jean Urbain Sattler, whose name is engraved on a foundation stone: "ON THE NAME OF FUT POZE THE 7 MAY 1714 BY J. V. SATTLER". The building, of classic style, is distinguished by its arch windows and sandstone floors, while an adjacent 1713 agricultural building housed barns and stables.

The castle has been partially protected since 9 November 1984 with the inscription of its facades and roofs in historical monuments. This inscription recognizes its heritage value, linked to its preserved architecture and local history. The site, although modest compared to the large castles of the region, illustrates the way of life of French-speaking landowners in the early 18th century, mixing noble habitat with agricultural activities.

No information is available on the current use of the castle (visits, rentals, etc.), but its state of conservation and location in the city centre (2 Rue du Mont or Grande-Rue) make it a rare testimony to the rural architectural heritage of Franche-Comté. Sources refer to a "passible" location accuracy (note 5/10), without further detail on its accessibility or openness to the public.
