Château de Semouse, Neo-Renaissance château in Xertigny, France

The château features ornate architectural details, tall windows, and a symmetrical design typical of late 19th-century French residential construction.

Built in 1885, the château served as the residence of Victor de Pruines, a gendarmerie officer who married into the Hildebrand family of local ironworks owners.

The château includes a Neo-Romanesque chapel that houses the remains of the de Pruines family, reflecting the period's architectural and religious customs.

An extensive fire in October 2023 left only the exterior walls standing, making the structure currently inaccessible to visitors.

The château was constructed next to the Semouse ironworks, established in 1697 to supply iron to the wire-drawing mill in Plombières-les-Bains.
