Château de Burnand, Medieval castle in Burnand, France
Château de Burnand is a castle set on a rectangular terrace with round towers of varying heights, to which a square turret was added in 1865. The building contains ten double rooms, one single room, and one child room, each with private bathrooms and air conditioning on the first floor.
The estate was first documented in 1525 when Philibert Cajod, from a military family serving the Saulx-Tavannes, acquired the property. The family shaped its development through various transformations that extended into the 19th century.
The castle houses a Renaissance painted ceiling in its main living room, alongside a 19th-century French-style ceiling in the billiard room. These rooms show how the residents displayed their taste in art and design across different periods.
The location is easily accessible and the rooms offer comfortable amenities with modern conveniences such as air conditioning in the upper areas. Visitors should allow time to explore the various rooms and levels to appreciate the architectural layout fully.
A Cluniac window was discovered repurposed in the inner courtyard during restoration work, revealing connections to the region's religious architecture. This detail suggests the site once had ties to monastic communities in the area.
