From the 13th century it was a fortified farm, or grange, belonging to the dukes and worked by monks of Cîteaux. In the early 14th century the duke gave it to his steward, Pierre d'Épernay. In 1564 Louis de Menessaire, short of money, sold the estate to Étienne Barbier. The Barbier family, later Barbier d'Entre-Deux-Monts and then Barbier de Reulle, kept it for nearly 300 years. Bernard Barbier, a master of accounts in Dijon, built the main house between 1641 and 1654. In 1856 the estate was sold to Louis Rocaut, and his descendants, the Postansque family, restored it from 1975. ## Architecture The house has an H plan in the Louis XIII style, with a curved pediment bearing the Barbier arms. Its wings, built around 1530, link it to two square towers of the 15th century. One holds the chapel of Saint Gertrude, the other a round dovecote with 1,630 pottery nesting holes. Inside, a grand stone staircase rises in two flights, and two service stairs once held dumbwaiters. ## Opening hours and tickets - Guided tours only: 1 July to 31 August: Wednesday to Saturday, tours start between 13:15 and 17:00 - Guided tour: Adults €5, reduced €3 - Booking: Recommended Guided tours by the owners start at 13:15, 15:00 and 17:00.
