Château des Granges

Suilly-la-Tour

        Serti par ses douves et par les saules sous lesquels courent les eaux du Nohain, le Château des Granges offre l'image de ce que pouvait être dans ce cadre agreste, la douceur de vivre à l'époque de la Renaissance. Château du XVI et XVIIème siècle classé à l'inventaire des monuments historiques.

Le château des Granges est l’un des trois châteaux, avec ceux de la Motte-Josserand et de Vergers, qui, sur la rive droite du Nohain, constituaient une ligne de défense. 

Tous trois furent bâtis dans le marais à partir d’une motte encercle par les eaux.

Des documents d’archives nous apprennent qu’en 1333 le fief des Granges appartenait à Bureau de La Rivière II, l’un des marmousets de Charles V, puis Charles VI ont préféré aux barons de haut lignage. Il fut Chambellan et premier Conseiller des deux Rois. 

En 1400, il fut inhumé au pied de Charles V en la basilique de Saint-Denis comme l’avait voulu son royal ami. Son fils Charles, dont le parrain avait été Charles V, fut en 1428 institué Grand Maitre et Réformateur des Eaux et Forêts de France. 

Le château féodal a probablement été construit par l’un des membres de cette famille. 

Le château actuel édifié à l’emplacement même de celle-ci date de la Renaissance.

Dans la seconde moitié du XVème siècle, le fief se trouve aux mains de Jean Thiart puis passe à Jean de Laporte, Lieutenant criminel a la prévôté de Paris.

En 1523, le fief des Granges était passe à la famille du Broc, originaire des Pays-Bas ; au début XVIème siècle, Edmond du Broc, magistrat au baillage d’Auxerre, est à la fois seigneur du Nozet et des Granges.

François, l’aine des fils de ce dernier, hérita du Nozet tandis que Guillaume, Lieutenant général criminel au baillage d’Auxerre (Conseiller du Roi), reçut les Granges. 

Les du Broc entreprirent la reconstruction du château ; celle-ci fut interrompue, semble-t-il, par la guerre de Religions.

En 1591, les héritiers de Guillaume du Broc vendirent Les Granges à Jacques de Forgues, contre une rente foncière ‘plus profitable qu’une terre en ces temps de troubles.’  

En effet, toute la région avait beaucoup souffert des guerres pendant lesquelles Henri IV était aux prises avec la Ligue.

Après l’Édit de Nantes (1598), la paix revenue, Jacques de Forgues, alors Secrétaire de la Chambre du Roi, poursuivit les travaux.

La date de 1605, inscrite a plusieurs endroits du château, indique la fin du chantier.

Quelques années après, Claude de Forgues, fille de Jacques, fit entrer Les Granges dans une puissante famille nivernaise en épousant Louis de La Chassaigne, baron de Givry, seigneur de Rosemont et d’Uxeloup, Procureur général du duc du Nivernais.

Les Granges appartinrent aux La Chassaigne une grande partie du XVIIème siècle et au début du XVIIIème siècle.

En 1719, la veuve de Louis-Balthazar de La Chassaigne, Jeanne de Lespinasse, vendait la propriété à Joseph Grassin et à Marie-Agathe Angenoust, son épouse. 

Les Granges passèrent ensuite à Charles de Percy, ancien capitaine de cavalerie. 

Au moment de la Révolution, en 1792, château et terres furent acquis par Guillaume Jacques Francois Guillerault de Villeroc, originaire de Pouilly-sur-Loire, notaire en cette ville, l’un des administrateurs du département de la Nièvre.

Dans la première moitié du XIXeme siècle, Joseph Amédée Guitard de Riberolle, l’un des mousquetaires de la Garde du Roi Louis XVIII, hérita, par alliance des Granges. 

Son fils Francois Léon, marie à Marie Delamalle, fut maire de Suilly La Tour de 1871 à 1881 ; il décéda au château des Granges en 1897. 

Louise, leur fille (née en 1855, décédée en 1929, devenue par son mariage comtesse de Dormy), n’ayant par héritier, légua le château a son cousin Charles de Lesseps, fils de Ferdinand, le constructeur du Canal de Suez. 

Pierre de Lesseps (1908-1981) en hérita, mais victime d’un grave accident et sans descendant, s’en dessaisit par vente en 1978 au profit d’une société immobilière. 

Trois ans plus tard, en 1981, M. et Mme Christian Meissirel s’en portaient acquéreurs. 

Les nouveaux propriétaires entreprirent alors d’importants travaux de restauration, tant au château que dans les communs, redonnant ainsi à l’ensemble architectural et à son environnement toute sa beauté.

Visits et prices

During your visit, you will come across 19 rooms all different from one another. Large spaces in the keep; containing the great lower hall, the room of honour, the king’s room and the more private spaces of the “Petit Château;” the visitor will be amazed by the dimensions of the building and the richness of the furniture.

Guided tour 11 a.m. July 10 canceled

Due to the passing of the Olympic flame between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. on July 10 in the castle grounds, and due to the strong measures planned to secure the area, we are not able to guarantee the 11 a.m. guided tour of the castle. It is unfortunately canceled.

The guided tours at 2:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. remain in place.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding.

The new currency of Paris has arrived!

The new version of the Paris currency “Château de Sully-sur-Loire” has arrived. It bears the image of Joan of Arc for 2024 !

Work is underway in the front park of the castle

We draw your attention to the fact that at the moment and until the beginning of September, work is underway in the front park.  Indeed, the wooden bridge spanning the Sange river had to be removed because it was in danger of collapsing. We are in the process of changing it to allow visitors to have direct access to the town of Sully-sur-Loire without going all the way around our moats. This does not cause any inconvenience to access to the castle and all our rooms are open.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused.  Thank you for your understanding

Château de Sully sur Loire – All You Need to Know Before Visiting

Last Modified: August 23, 2023 //  by  Anda //   14 Comments

The impressive Chateau de Sully sur Loire sits at the confluence of the Loire and the River Sange. The castle was built on a group of three small islands: the main keep sits on the northern island; the Inner Courtyard is on the southern island, and the Outer Courtyard takes up the eastern island. 

Château de Sully may not share the fame of the iconic Chenonceau , or Amboise , but it’s equally beautiful. Just when you think you’ve seen the most stunning castle in Loire Valley , here comes another one to take your breath away!

Table of Contents

A Brief History of the Chateau de Sully sur Loire

The gardens, inside the château, getting to château de sully, admission fees.

The first traces of the château date back to the 1100s. At the time this was just defense post for the “royal” river. The actual Château de Sully was built much later, in 1567, for the Maréchal Gaspard de Saulx who was an important figure at the court of King Henri II of France.  

In 1602, Maximilien de Béthune, a famous French minster and counselor of King Henry IV, acquired the castle and began an extensive work of restoration. 

He strengthened the exterior walls to protect the town from occasional flooding, built an artillery tower equipped with walls and cannons and created the gardens. 

Over the course of history, the château has suffered many trials and tribulations: the French Revolution in 1789, a devastating fire in 1918, and the bombardments of World War II.

For four centuries, this imposing fortress remained the property of the Duke of Sully family and their descendants.

In 1962 the Département du Loiret acquired the Château de Sully-sur-Loire and declared it a Historic Monument. They made substantial repairs to the castle, bringing it to its old glory and splendor.

During its history, the castle has welcomed the visits of many celebrities. Although Henri IV never came here, King Louis XIV, Voltaire, Joan of Arc, Mazarin and Anne of Austria, all paid visits to the château.

Visiting the Château de Sully Sur Loire

The castle layout that you see today is different from the original construction. From the 18 th  century onwards, the Château of Sully-sur-Loire underwent numerous demolition and re-construction projects which gradually changed its appearance.

Château de Sully sur Loire is an impressive medieval fortress, complete with towers, strongholds, rampart walks and surrounded by a romantic moat filled with water. The castle has four prominent cylindrical towers that emerge high above its roof.

To the east of the Outer Courtyard is a 25-hectare garden that you can reach via a stone bridge. The reflections of the castle in the water make for some great pics! 

In the garden there is a number of canals that were dug in order to help protect the castle against possible floods. The area is now almost completely occupied by trees. Only the pathways indicate the original layout of the garden.

In the Outer Courtyard there is a life-size statue of white Carrara marble representing the first Duke of Sully, Maximilien de Béthune. 

The interior of the château has some very nice elements. You will find the usual array of tapestries, paintings, sculptures and French period furniture. The Louis XV wing has rooms decorated in a 17th century style to view.

One thing not to miss when visiting the château is the barrel-vaulted ceiling, which is a true masterpiece. The ceiling which dates back to the 14th century is part of the original construction. Considering its old age, the ceiling looks remarkably well and its sheer size and its beauty are quite stunning!

Also remarkably beautiful are Sully’s private apartments. The bedroom walls contain six tapestries recounting the story of Psyche. They date back to the early 17th century and are part of a prestigious series made for François I. 

Visiting the château is quite a voyage through history, from the Middle Ages through to the 19th century. The tour will take you into the lives of the Béthune family.

You will learn about their history and family anecdotes,which makes the visit very attractive.  The Sully apartments and their collections of paintings, tapestries and period furniture are really beautiful.

Château de Sully-sur-Loire is one of the favorite venues for the music festivals in the Loire Valley.

Practical Information for Visiting the Château

Depending on the time of the year, there is at least one guided tour (only in French) each day lasting approximately 1.5 hrs. However, you can take a self guided tour of the castle at any time. There are audioguides and maps of the château available in French, English, German, Dutch, Italian and Spanish.

By car: Château de Sully is only 70 miles away from Blois, which is a great base for exploring the Loire Valley castles. The easiest and most direct way to get to Sully is by car (1 hour and 15 minutes drive).

For driving directions for the Château de Sully, click on the map below

By train/bus : the next convenient way is to use a combination of train and bus, by hoping on the train in Blois and then changing to a bus on Orleans. This will take about 2 hours and 45 minutes.

By bus : this is the least convenient option as there is no direct bus from Blois to Château de Sully-sur-Loire. There are bus services departing from Blois and arriving at Sully sur Loire – Porte de Sologne via Bourie Rouge and Orléans – Gare Routière. The journey, including transfers, takes approximately 3h 30m.

Wow. Just wow. You captured some stunning images, Anda. I really regret not being able to visit Loire valley as we had planned. Perhaps we’ll get there another time; I certainly hope so because I would adore exploring all those chateaux. Oh – and of course the nearby vineyards as well!

Yea, I hear they have excellent wines in the region, but I didn’t go to any wine tasting while there.

February 21, 2016 at 11:36 am

Luxury and elegance, great gardens and fabulous pictures, Anda. Thank you for sharing this post with us. I am sorry that I had so little time to enjoy this beautiful castle.

What a lovely solid looking fairy tale castle. I like it. And its amazingly blue bedroom. Great colours in your interior pictures.

What a beauty! I would love to visit the Loire Valley. I will need several days since there are so many chateau (not sure how to do the plural) to see.

February 20, 2016 at 7:14 pm

The plural for ‘chateau’ is ‘chateaux,’ but don’t worry about it. If you didn’t study French, you couldn’t have known. You need at least a week if you want to see at least the most famous one and more importantly, you need to rent a car. If you go by tour bus, you won’t see much because they just let you off for 30-40 minutes at each castle.

February 20, 2016 at 1:21 am

You are right! Who can resist a gorgeous French castle?! I love, love, love your photos Anda!

Rhonda Albom

February 19, 2016 at 9:11 pm

Wow Anda, these photos are so wonderful. I love the look of traditional castles that match the storybook image in my head. Fantastic.

The Loire Valley is so beautiful, you won’t believe it, Rhonda. Really worth a visit.

February 21, 2016 at 9:19 am

Not a lot, just some of them. There are so many, it’s impossible to visit them all in a visit.

That is so beautiful! I’ve never been but would love to!

Mary (The World Is A Book)

February 19, 2016 at 1:13 pm

Wow! Your pictures of the exterior are simply stunning! You had a great day too. The Loire Valley is on my long travel wish list. It’s always a bonus to see the interior.

February 20, 2016 at 8:05 am

Yea, I agree. At least they let you take pictures of the interior there, unlike in Germany.

History of Château de Sully-sur-Loire

Château de Sully-sur-Loire formerly belonged to the Dukes of Trémouille until the end of the 20th century. It was an important symbol in the town of Sully-Sur-Loire .

Georges de la Trémoille, the original owner of the castle, had actually imprisoned Joan of Arc in the castle when she failed to liberate Paris in 1430. Later, in the sixteenth century this incredible estate became the seat of the first Duke of Sully, also known for being the grand minister of King Henri IV.

For the next four centuries the family of the Duke of Sully inhabited these grounds, welcoming esteemed guests like King Louis XIV, Voltaire, Mazarin, and Anne of Austria. Visiting Château de Sully-sur-Loire gives you a look into the family’s history from the the gallery to the Hall of  Honor, and the tomb of the Duke and his wife.

It was during the time of the French Revolution that the walls of Château Sully-sur-Loire’s were destroyed and went through vast damage. It was left to deteriorate for many years before the state stepped in and did some renovation work.

Château Sully-sur-Loire was subsequently purchased by the Loiret Department in 1962, and in 2006, the castle went through major restoration work before reopening to the public in 2007.

How to Get to Château de Sully-sur-Loire

Travel from paris to sully-sur-loire.

There is unfortunately no direct train or bus between Paris and Sully-sur-Loire. The nearest jump-off point, if you can only take public transportation, would be to take the bus from the city of Orleans.

There are TER or Intercites trains from Paris to Orleans that takes about 59 minutes. From Orleans you can take Bus No. 3 to Sully-sur-Loire which also takes another hour. However, take note that there is usually only one bus per day.

Once you arrive, the town of Sully-sur-Loire is small enough to walk to Château Sully-sur-Loire.

Travel to Sully-sur-Loire by Car

The best way to get to Château Sully-sur-Loire is by car. It’s convenient and well-connected to all major highways. If you are coming from Paris, it takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes. If you are coming from Orleans, it takes about 30 to 40 minutes. 

Even better is if you have a campervan – there is an Aire de Service provided by the municipality right next to the Château Sully-sur-Loire. The spots are limited but well-marked. We went in May and there were already a lot of camping cars around so we imagine that in the high season, it is even fuller. 

Nonetheless, it was a great spot to park. We spent the day taking walks around the town, discovering the castle, and relaxing by the river. 

There are also hotels in the surrounding areas, which we discuss later on in this post.
