A classic 17th century building completely renovated
In 2018 and 2019, in collaboration with the interior design agency Rinck, the family home was redesigned to create an elegant and welcoming hotel. The architectural and decorative concept is a tribute to Burgundy and its territory. The layout of the various spaces, the creation of the Orangery, the maintenance of the woods, the reorganization of the gardens and the choice of plantations are all achievements that contribute to restoring the Château de Saulon to its former glory.
Built around 1460, the Château de Saulon remains the witness of six centuries of history.
The lord of Saulon-la-Rue, the king's lawyer, had it built in order to better watch over his estate.
As early as 1643, under Louis XIII, the Château already included its current buildings: two stables, a chapel, an oven room and a dovecote greenhouse.
The illustrious Clermont family, of chivalric origin, inherited the Château de Saulon in the 18th century. Upon also inheriting the County of Perrigny, this branch became the Clermont-Perrigny family. During the French Revolution, the property was sold to the neighboring bourgeois.
During the French Revolution, the property was sold to the neighboring bourgeois.
When the Monarchy returned, the property was taken over by another branch, the Clermont-Montoisons. The new marquis then chose to renovate it, without altering its origins. The old medieval moats were filled in, the park was redesigned, and an additional floor was built.
The estate was sold several times over more than two centuries, until it was bought by Thierry Goux in 2018. He then began a new restoration.
In its current form, the estate covers 27 hectares. It has 42 rooms, divided between the castle and its outbuildings. Each of them offers a breathtaking view of the surroundings: the swimming pool or the park for the castle, the river or the woods for the farmhouse, and the French-style vegetable gardens for the pavilion. The current estate is also decorated with several water features, in particular the remains of the old moats of the first castle, 2 rivers that cross it, and a pond at the bottom of the park.
The estate's swimming pool is a true haven of peace, ideal for recharging your batteries after a day of activities. Surrounded by greenery and soothing landscapes, it offers an idyllic setting to cool off on sunny days.
Cool off by swimming a few lengths or drinking a cocktail, enjoy a moment of rest on a deckchair in the enclosure or by the river, sheltered by a parasol or under one of the many trees in our park.
