Château de Saulx stands in Saulx (Haute-Saône), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: third quarter of the 18th century, first quarter of the 19th century). No visits are on record for this building.
Saulx château is an eighteenth-century residence, the third quarter, protected as a historical monument. Its principal interest lies in the first-floor salon, decorated in the early nineteenth century with wallpapers manufactured by Joseph Dufour and Cie, along with contemporary wainscoting. The estate also includes an ancient park where the enclosed rectangular garden, a water feature, and a stone fence of a type unparalleled in Franche-Comté have survived.
What to know
- The first-floor salon is classified for its interior decoration; the dwelling itself, the press house, dovecote, and gates are listed, as is the historical park.
- The park retains a stone fence of particular design: posts set on a low wall, pierced with holes meant to receive removable wooden barriers.
- The building is visited by appointment; no regular hours or public tariff are advertised.
