Château de Meursault and Fountain

Highlight • Castle

The origins of Château de Meursault date back to the 11th century. At that time, Robert I, Duke of Burgundy and son of King Robert II of France, granted the fief of Moulin Foulot to one of his squires. From the 12th to the 16th century, the fief frequently changed hands in the course of power struggles between the Duchy of Burgundy and the French king. In 1645, Pierre Legoux de La Berchère, Lord of La Rochepot, acquired the estate belonging to the lordship of Mazeray.

The castle of Meursault built in 1337 by Lord Robert de Grancey was dismantled in 1474 by order of King Louis XI; restored and then dismantled again in 1633 by order of Richelieu, after the betrayal of Henri de Montmorency. It has since been redesigned in town hall with its glazed tile roof of Burgundy. Lordship of Vergy, Grancey, Guy Pot (brother of Philippe Pot), Count of Saint-Pol, then Montmorency.
During the Second World War, Meursault was very close to the free zone. It is for this reason that part of the plot of the famous fictional film La Grande Vadrouille is located in Meursault, where the heroes of the film will try to cross the line of demarcation.
