Château de Brochon is a neo-Renaissance castle built between 1895 and 1902 by writer Stéphen Liégeard, representing the last major château constructed in Côte-d'Or. The building's construction followed the devastating phylloxera crisis and served dual purposes: creating an architectural masterpiece while providing employment to ruined vineyard operators. The structure exemplifies Renaissance style with exceptional interior decoration, both its facades and interiors registered as historical monuments since 1975. Currently housing a lycée, the château remains closed to the public during the school year but opens mid-July through August, allowing visitors to appreciate its architectural significance and craftsmanship.
