History of the Chateau
Chailly, whose name is of Celtic origin, is a place that has been inhabited for a very long time. In the 12th century, a “fortified house” of modest proportions occupied the current site of the Chateau. At the beginning of the 15th century, Jean, Lord of Loges, made it into a true fortress equipped with four towers and a drawbridge. His grandson Hugues transformed it into a pleasant Renaissance residence, an aspect that the Chateau has kept to this day. The Lenet, Brunet and Tillet families would each take over it in turn.
During the Revolution in 1789, the Chateau was protected from the excesses of certain zealous patriots, because its lands were used by a “Farmer of Seigniory”, Augustin Godard, Mayor of Chailly and “Lieutenant Criminel” in Arnay-le-Duc. He purchased the Chateau in 1796, until it was sold back to the Chalon family in 1888.
The current owner, Yasuhiko Sata, has been renovating the Chateau since 1987 thanks to the keen work of a hundred 'compagnons du devoir' from a French-style friendly society. It is now classified "Historical Monument" and converted into one of the most luxurious hotels in Burgundy.
