To make a day of it
Château de Bucey-en-Othe stands in Bucey-en-Othe (Aube), in the Grand Est region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Located in the Aube department, the château de Bucey-en-Othe takes the form of a fortified manor dating from the late 16th century. Farm buildings and a dovecote line its square courtyard, part of which is bordered by water-filled moats, reflecting the rural architecture typical of the Champagne region at that time. Although alterations made during the 18th and 19th centuries changed the appearance of the courtyard facade, the defensive layout remains visible through two square corner towers and a projecting entrance pavilion.
