Built by the family of Courcelles, at the beginning of the 16th century this seigneurial home is one of the last fortified houses of the Renaissance of Tonnerrois.
As every year the manor will open its doors to the public on the occasion of the Heritage Days.
You can discover the restoration of this old fortified house of the sixteenth century built by the descendants of the lords of Tanlay!
The nearly 500-year-old building is not lacking in authenticity with its pentagonal staircase turret in ashlar stone, its mullion window, its small fortifications (Bretèche, loopholes), its vaulted cellar and its coat of arms. Witness the passing of time, the building is full of graffiti and period engravings to watch with attention!
For this year 2022 the manor will organize a retrospective of the renovation site from 1978 to the present day and tastings of local wines.
