Check rates and availabilityThe Château is essentially a square manor house, but with its two towers at the front, it earns the title of a château. Typical of the mid-19th century style, the château's history actually extends much further back. Over the centuries, it has undergone numerous alterations and was even partially destroyed at one point, followed by an almost complete reconstruction in the 19th century.
During our renovation work, we discovered evidence of habitation since the Middle Ages. The most intact remnant from this period is a vast building with impressive beams, reminiscent of the grain store at Cluny.
In the 12th century, Cluny owned the St Marcel Priory and numerous other properties in the surrounding area. These properties are marked on a 1649 map under the name ‘la Tarte,’ a deformation of ‘tertre,’ meaning a rise in the land (185m above sea level). This is the only elevated area in the Lans region.
It is believed that the property was originally designed with defense in mind, during a time when bandits were common, and security was crucial. The château has been transformed numerous times and has seen many families come and go.
Ancient archives reveal that the château belonged to the Marquise of Thésut from 1582 to 1765. It then passed to the Denon family, whose descendant, Dominique-Vivant Denon (1747-1825), was a renowned Egyptologist and director of the Museums of France. Although he held the title of ‘Lord of Lans,’ Denon, a great traveler, never stayed at the Château de Lans. He participated in the Egypt Campaign and fought in the battles of Austerlitz, Essling, and Eylau, where he lost an arm. Upon his death in 1868, one of his daughters, the Countess of Duranti, rebuilt the château as it stands today. Her son later donated the château to a prominent figure in Châlon-sur-Saône society upon his death in 1886.
