Rarely open to the public, the European Heritage Days are an opportunity to discover or rediscover the rooms of the Castle that will be for the occasion animated by the craftsmen of art who currently work in the workshops of the castle.
Exciting exchanges around crafts and exhibition of their work are on the program of these 2 exceptional opening days.
The castle of Jossigny was built in 1753 for Claude-François Leconte des Graviers, advisor to the Fifth Chamber of Investigations of the Parliament of Paris, by the architect Jacques Hardouin-Mansart de Sagonne (1711 – 1778), the last of the illustrious Mansart dynasty.
Located 32 kilometers east of Paris and 6 kilometers south of Lagny-sur-Marne, it is a precious testimony of the architecture of a stone house from the middle of the eighteenth century in all it has most charming and picturesque.
At the end of the XVIth century the domain of Jossigny enters the heritage of the family of Bragelongue , It is by a complex game of alliances that it falls in the nineteenth century to the family Roig. Baron Guy-François De Roig donated it to the State in 1949, retaining the usufruct until his death in 1975.
The castle, as well as the facades and roofs of the outbuildings, the park and the paths, are classified as historical monuments since December 23, 1942.
The estate is now managed by the National Monuments Centre.
