A chateau with a beautiful staircase. I accessed this chateau a few times and produced the following works here - Les Histoires, Chateau Dégradé and Chambre de la Comtesse. During the twelfth century the first château in this area was owned by a knightly family. Unfortunately the building became a victim of the Thirty Years’ War and it was looted and partly burned down. In the mid 18th century the foundation of the present château was built. At that time, the castle had only one floor. A century after its construction, the façade of the chateau was altered and a second floor was added. After World War II, the property remained uninhabited and it was eventually sold in the 1980’s to a French lawyer. Unfortunately part of the building collapsed in the late 1990s. I visited a few times in 2016. Unfortunately in December 2017 a huge fire destroyed almost everything and only a part of the façade survived, despite the efforts of the fire brigade.
