History
[edit]Georges Dupré de Saint Maur, general councilor of the canton of La Ferté-Saint-Aubin (1877-1889) and mayor of Ligny-le-Ribault (1878-1902), had the château built between 1875 and 1882.[1][2]
In 1923, the château, which at that time belonged to the Poniatowski family, was acquired by the Swiss industrialist Henry Burrus to indulge his passion for horse riding.
The château has been listed in the inventory of historic monuments since September 3, 1991.[1]
