A fairytale castle, Bourgogne

A fairytale castle

The splendid inner courtyard at the heart of a 27 - ha estate

Nestled at 546 m on the road to Grand Cru wines from the Beaune area, the La Rochepot castle overlooks the valley. “Entirely restored by architect Charles Suisse and sculptor Xavier Schanosky for a quarter of a century in the late 1800s, the castle is in perfect condition,” Patrice Besse stresses. Housing more than 30 rooms, the outbuildings of this flamboyant Gothic property fence a flowered inner courtyard with a well. The hall of the guards, complete with halberds, an impressive kitchen with a central stove, the living room and two majestic fireplaces are on the ground floor. The lord’s bedroom, a high vault, and a children room, decorated with medieval Burgundy imagery, with a fireplace are located on the upper floor. At the heart of a 27-ha estate, this outstanding property provides 1,528 sq m of living space and another 661 sq m of outbuildings (stables, keeper’s house in one of the towers…), just 15 min from Beaune.
