Lot Essay

Georges Jacob, maître in 1765.

The château de Filain, a former moated fortress, is located in the Haute-Saône and was built around 1550 by the Sacquenay family. It underwent renovations in the 17th and 19th centuries and had several owners before becoming a public building in the 1920’s. In 1980, it returned to private hands.
