Its lords included Pierre de Bauffremont, chamberlain to the Duke of Burgundy, in 1439. In 1469 it was held by Marie de Bourgogne, a natural daughter of Duke Philip the Good. By then the old castle had lost its military value, and little of it survives today apart from the moats and two 15th-century elements. Pierre Brunet de Chailly, president of the Chambre des comptes in Paris, rebuilt the château around 1700, and his lordship of Serrigny was raised to a county. The estate later passed to his nephew Charles du Tillet, then to the Clermont-Montoison and Clermont-Tonnerre families. In 1908 Félix de Mérode became the owner after marrying Françoise de Clermont-Tonnerre. Parts of the house, the moats, the park and the canal were listed as historic monuments in 1992. ## Architecture A bridge crosses the moat to a wide entrance gate framed by an L-shaped building and two rectangular pavilions. The roofs are of flat tiles, pierced by round windows and dormers, and some windows have wrought-iron balconies. Inside, the two salons and the staircase are protected. A stone wall with small turrets encloses the estate, and a round dovecote stands to the south-east. ## Visiting The château is a private home and is not open for tours. The park usually opens for the European Heritage Days in September and the Rendez-vous aux jardins in early June. At other times you can see the gates and walls from the road. Ask the Beaune tourist office for this year's dates. ## Did you know? The château stands on a rectangular platform about 85 metres long and 45 metres wide, entirely ringed by water, a layout inherited from the medieval castle it replaced. ## Around Château de Serrigny What to combine with Château de Serrigny on the same day, nearest first. ### Villages - [Ladoix-Serrigny](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/ladoix-serrigny) (1 km away): The northern gateway to the Côte de Beaune, at the foot of the hill of Corton. - [Aloxe-Corton](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/aloxe-corton) (2 km away): A small village under the hill of Corton, where Charlemagne once gave away his vines. - [Chorey-lès-Beaune](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/chorey-les-beaune) (2 km away): A village on the gentle land just north of Beaune, known for supple and fruity reds. ### Châteaux - [Château Corton Grancey](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-corton-grancey) (2 km away): An elegant 1749 château and a historic gravity winery, the home estate of Louis Latour. - [Château Corton C](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-corton-c) (2 km away): A diamond-patterned glazed tile roof, rebuilt around 1900 at the foot of the Corton hill. - [Château de Corton](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-de-corton) (2 km away): The third château of Aloxe-Corton, a brick and stone house built by Charles Suisse. ### Things to do - [Domaine d’Ardhuy](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/domaine-d-ardhuy-clos-des-langres-corgoloin) (2 km away): A family estate around an 18th-century manor in the Clos des Langres, where the Côte de Nuits meets the Côte de Beaune. - [Franco-American Friendship Museum, Beaune (Historial de l’Amitié Franco-Américaine de Beaune)](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/historial-amitie-franco-americaine-beaune), 4 km away: A volunteer-run museum on the American army hospital and university camp at Beaune in 1918 and 1919. - [Maison Louis Jadot](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/maison-louis-jadot-beaune) (5 km away): A Beaune wine house founded in 1859, known for its Bacchus label, with a shop and visits at its winery. ### Restaurants - [Le Charlemagne](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/le-charlemagne-pernand-vergelesses) (3 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): Burgundy with a Japanese accent, facing the hill of Corton-Charlemagne - [Clos du Cèdre](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/clos-du-cedre-beaune) (6 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): A winemaker's mansion by Beaune's ramparts, with a starred kitchen and a cellar of over 1,000 wines - [Le Carmin](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/le-carmin-beaune) (6 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): Christophe Quéant's poised, product-first cooking in a Renaissance house on place Carnot ## Questions about Château de Serrigny ### How far is Château de Serrigny from Beaune?
