BougesleChâteau

BougesleChâteau is a historic château located in France. The estate centers on a grand manor and surrounding parkland, with outbuildings that reflect its long use as a country residence. The name BougesleChâteau appears in regional records as the designation for the property and its precincts.

Construction of the present manor began in the early 17th century, with renovations and additions in the 18th and 19th centuries that introduced classical and later romantic elements. Through its history the château changed hands several times among regional nobility, often reflecting strategic marriages and shifting political alliances.

The architecture combines a relatively simple, symmetrical exterior with classical detailing. The main block is built of stone with a slate roof, and features elements such as pilasters and a central pediment. Inside, spaces include a grand salon and a panelled library, with a chapel added during the 18th century. The surrounding gardens blend formal layouts with later landscape design, expanding into an estate-style park.

Today BougesleChâteau is preserved as a heritage property. It is privately owned but is periodically opened to the public for guided tours, temporary exhibitions, and garden visits organized by the local municipality and a preservation association. The site is noted in regional heritage surveys for its example of architectural evolution and its role in the social history of the area.

Visitors seeking current opening hours and events should consult the regional tourism office or the estate’s official communications.
