Description
Built from 1885 onwards according to the plans of the architect François Clasquin, the castle has been used as the town hall since 1979 and has kept traces of a past, prestigious way of life.
Surrounded by a vast wooded park, this magnificent castle and its outbuildings await you to immerse yourself in the world of the Trivier-Champion family, creators of the "La Lorraine" brewery, which reached its peak in the 19th century.
"La Lorraine" brewery, which reached the peak of its production between 1890 and 1920 and made its owners rich.
This magnificent building was a symbol of social success and served to highlight the brewery's economic success. The entrance was particularly sumptuous and was intended to impress the visitors, suppliers and customers of the brewery. In a wooden showcase made for the 1889 World Exhibition (the age of the Eiffel Tower), "relics" from the company's heyday were displayed.
Nowadays, this splendid residence has become the Town Hall of Xertigny.
The interior has kept its elaborate woodwork, gilding and marble... This place of life still exudes all its authenticity.
