Exceptional Renaissance Chateau in Burgundy
Cote-d’Or – Historic Residence Restored with Elegance
Just 1 hour 10 minutes from Paris by TGV, and close to the Montbard and Dijon train stations, as well as 45 minutes from Beaune, this exceptional chateau invites you on a journey through history. Located at the border of the Auxois and Morvan regions, it embodies the grandeur of a heritage carefully preserved and restored with the utmost respect for original materials and traditional techniques.
Every stone and piece of wood reflects the owners’ dedication to preserving the soul of the place. The restoration employed noble materials and authentic methods, achieving a perfect harmony between historical authenticity and modern comfort. Today, the chateau offers a functional, warm, and family-friendly residence, where each member can enjoy their own space.
A Remarkable Grand Staircase
The chateau features a four-core spiral staircase of rare elegance, comparable to the staircase at Chateau de Cormatin, famous for its 21-metre-high empty cage staircase, the oldest and largest of its kind in France.
A Unique Living Environment
The main building is flanked by circular towers connected by a walled enclosure with a segmental arch gateway. Inside, the living areas are spacious and luminous, adorned with exposed beam ceilings and period fireplaces. A barrel-vaulted chapel, accessible via a spiral staircase, adds a spiritual and historical dimension to the property.
Outside, the estate is organized around a structured park, including a rose garden, terraced kitchen garden, formal courtyard, and caretaker’s house, creating a harmonious and intimate sanctuary. A suspended gallery connects the two wings, adding majesty and elegance. Additional outbuildings include a notable tithe barn.
Rich Historical Heritage
The site of Blancey is mentioned in archives as far back as the 9th century, notably in the cartulary of Saint-Symphorien d’Autun. Over the centuries, the chateau belonged to illustrious noble families, each contributing to its history and prestige.
