To make a day of it
Château de Villemereuil stands in Villemereuil (Aube), in the Grand Est region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
The château de Villemereuil stands apart from the village, surrounded by woodland and a large park, in the Aube department. Two 16th century chalk pavilions, remnants of the former château de Foissy, flank the brick main building erected in the Louis XIII style by Jean-Jérôme Molé. The estate has remained in the hands of the same family, the Bonamy de Villemereuil, for generations.
