Château d'Ecot-la-Combe, Seigniorial castle in Ecot-la-Combe, France.

Château d'Ecot-la-Combe stands in the heart of the village on the bank of the Sueurre. Its three wings with their towers, the gatehouse and outbuildings, and the dovecote are listed as monuments historiques since 25 August 1994. The long pale stone facade has rectangular windows with pale shutters, tall chimneys, and a round tower with a dark conical roof at the junction of its wings.

The seigniory was first mentioned in 1172, and by the early 13th century, the castle became part of the Count of Champagne's fortress network. This placed it within an important defensive system protecting territories in the region.

The reception rooms display hand-crafted woodwork and fireplaces from the 17th century, later complemented by Louis XVI-style decorations. These spaces show how different periods of decoration coexist within the building and shape its character.

The castle is a private property and cannot be visited; its three wings, gatehouse, outbuildings and dovecote are listed as monuments historiques since 25 August 1994. It stands in the heart of the village of Ecot-la-Combe, on the bank of the Sueurre, in the Haute-Marne. The building can be seen from the public road through the village.

The Michel brothers, ironmasters and the department's wealthiest family under the Restoration, bought the castle after the Count of Foudras emigrated and it was seized as national property. They filled in the deep stone-walled moats, enlarged the south wing, and had the main work done before 1807.
