Château de Drée - The castle to visit

Château de Drée, 71800 Curbignyhttps://chateau-de-dree.com/

At the beginning…This castle was built from the 1650s by François de Bonne de Créquy, 3rd Duke of Lesdiguières and Governor of Dauphiné, on the site of the fortified house of La Bazolle. It was then sold to Etienne Comte de Drée in 1748, who initiated the interior decoration “in the style of Versailles”.

In the 19th centuryIn December 1837, Countess Augustine de Tournon-Simiane, descendant of the Marquise de Sévigné, bought the castle, for 750,000 francs at the time. She had the central portico built there, giving its final shape to the building.

His granddaughter, Eugénie, married the Belgian prince Gustave-Ferdinand de Croÿ-Solré. This family owned the castle until 1993.

RenewalIn 1995, the current owner, Mr. Ghislain PROUVOST, bought the residence and undertook major restorations to preserve this exceptional heritage. Drée having been emptied of its furniture, the rooms were rearranged in the style of the 18th century. The restorations were completed by the creation of a 10-hectare French-style park, by the landscaper Moncorgé, restoring this princely residence to its former glory.
