Château Burrus, Neo-baroque château in Sainte-Croix-aux-Mines, France.

Château Burrus is a neo-baroque mansion at 74 rue Maurice-Burrus in Sainte-Croix-aux-Mines, built in 1900 by architects Jules Berninger and Gustave Krafft. Its ground floor has eight rooms around a large central hall with Ionic and Corinthian columns and fake yellow marble. The green room has mirror doors and a ceiling painted as a cloudy sky; the red room has two fake red marble columns and copper gilding; the wooden room is panelled in wood with embossed cardboard tapestries.

Maurice Burrus, a tobacco manufacturer, had the château built in 1900 as his family home, designed by the Alsatian architects Jules Berninger and Gustave Krafft, who had studied in Stuttgart and at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. During the Second World War it was requisitioned and turned into a training centre for SS officers. The family factory closed in 1947; after Maurice's death in 1959 the building passed to a religious congregation, then to private owners, and it was listed as a monument historique in 1993. A family bought it in 2021 and began renovating it.

The interior reflects tastes of the Belle Époque era through its named rooms and decorative choices made by the tobacco family who built it. Visitors can observe how different spaces were decorated with ornamental columns and gilded details to demonstrate wealth and status.

The château is currently closed to visitors while undergoing extensive renovation work by its new owners. It is best to check on the property's progress before planning a visit.

The hall's Ionic and Corinthian columns are finished in fake yellow marble, and the red room has two columns of imitation red marble with copper gilding on its ceiling and doors. The green room's mirrored doors enlarge the space, and its ceiling is painted as a lightly clouded sky.
