Grange Huguenet, Protected historic barn in Besançon, France
La Grange Huguenet consists of agricultural buildings, farmer lodgings, and owner pavilions spread across 4.5 hectares of natural space within Besançon.
In 1674, King Louis XIV dined under the yew trees of this property after his troops conquered the citadel, gifting his sword to the domain owner.
The barn represents a complete urban agricultural ensemble from the 17th century, with modifications by architect Alphonse Delacroix reflecting 19th-century living standards.
The site opens from April to October, with guided and self-guided tours available by appointment at 32 Avenue de Montrapon in Besançon.
A 15th-century cistern remained functional until 1930, while an 18th-century floor plan reveals the agricultural building contained a greenhouse for wintering orange trees.
