Tips

March 28, 2021

Built in the 16th century and remodeled in the 19th century, the Château de la Grillère was successively the property of François de Beauharnais, ancestor of Napoleon III, of the count of Choiseul-Gouffier, French ambassador to Constantinople on the eve of the Revolution, then of the Emperor Napoleon III.
Now privately owned, the pink and black brick construction reveals the various interventions that the castle has undergone, both on the facades and on the roofs.
Composed of two main buildings, the whole is structured around an open courtyard, surrounded by a moat.
Characterized by singular architectural fragments, either from a medieval vocabulary (pepper shakers, archers, etc.), or brought back to the 19th century by Anglo-Saxon borrowings (strains of twisted brick chimneys, cross bricks and stones, pepper shakers), this castle has required successive work campaigns since 2008, intended initially for its conservation and secondly, for its transformation into a family residence.
