Top 4 Castles in Marne

Some of the buildings are monumental and an expression of capital - but even the small winemakers have very good champagnes to offer that are in no way inferior to the big houses!

In 2011[9], the idea for the current Museum of Champagne and Regional Archaeology was born. The project was approved by the French Ministry of Culture in 2014, and in 2016 the renovation work was entrusted to the architectural firm Frenak + Jullien. Work began in 2018, under the supervision of the chief architect of historical monuments Lionel Dubois. Château Perrier has now been restored and contains one of the most important archaeological exhibits in France, with some 80,000 regional artefacts (dating from the Paleolithic to the Early Middle Period) and 4,000 artefacts relating to the history of Champagne wine (since 1960).[10]

The Château Perrier, at number 13, was built from 1852 to 1857[9] by the architect Pierre-Eugène Cordier, in an eclectic Louis XIII style. In 1854[10], the couple Pierre-Nicolas Perrier, a cork manufacturer, and Adèle Jouët (the founders of the Perrier-Jouët champagne house), who had married in 1811, commissioned the construction of this castle. The four facades are inspired by the architecture of the French Renaissance, to the Parisian image of the Palais du Luxembourg, the Palais des Tuileries or the Lescot of the Louvre. The facades are a play of colours with materials such as brick, natural stone, slate and glass.

simply fantastic and enjoy at least 1 glass of champagne ;)

Simply how many systems here are brilliant

The Château de Sarry is located in the commune of Sarry in the Marne department, Grand Est region, France. The castle has a rich history and was once owned by the Bishops of Châlons. The castle has a medieval gate and a chapel, and the grounds include a park.

Entirely remodeled at the beginning of the 20th century in an opulent style inspired by the end of the 16th century, the Château de Congy seems abandoned. Surrounded by a beautiful landscaped park, it retains a dovecote and an interesting entrance pavilion from the beginning of the 17th century, with a cart arcade, pedestrian passage and side loopholes. Former possession of the Conflans family, the land of Congy belonged in the 16th century to Florentin de Béthune, gentleman of the chamber of the King of Navarre and guardian of the future Sully. The castle had in 1886 a stone staircase and a living room decorated with mythological paintings, probably dating back to Bénigne Chasot, president of the parliament of Metz, lord of Congy in 1704.

A chateau-hotel with swimming pool. The owners can advise you on hikes to visit wine cellars in the area. Reservation required.
