Commarin · Côte-d’Or
The park and moats of Commarin
Commarin in Burgundy keeps the moats and two round towers of a fourteenth-century castle around a house rebuilt in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; château, outbuildings, moats, park and the ground of the access avenue were classified together in 1949.
From the source
Château de Commarin is a château at Commarin, Côte-d'Or, in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The recorded building campaigns date from the 14th, 17th and 18th centuries. It is protected as a monument historique at the higher of the two levels (classé). Details are drawn from the Base Mérimée of the French Ministry of Culture.
Editorial reading
The record is short on narrative — moats and towers of the fourteenth century, reconstruction in the seventeenth and eighteenth — but generous in what it protects. The 1949 classification names the château and its outbuildings, its moats, its park and the very ground of the avenue that leads to it. The park is thus protected at the highest level, as part of a composition that runs from the approach to the water around the house.
Recommendation
Arrive by the avenue: it is classified for a reason, and it sets up the house across the water.
