Château du Jonchay, Heritage castle in Anse, France.

The rectangular castle features two square towers on its east facade, with seven symmetrical bays spread across three distinct levels.

The first documented lord of the estate was Jean Richard de Saint-Priest in 1326, marking the beginning of noble ownership.

The Sarton du Jonchay family received their noble status from the pope in 1782 and maintained ownership through several generations.

The castle stands as a private residence in the Saône Valley, west of Anse village, and remains closed to public access.

The estate's name originates from its initial landscape of reeds and marshlands, with the Brienne spring still flowing through the property.
