The Tanlay Castle ( French Château de Tanlay ) is a moated castle in the French commune of Tanlay in the Yonne department in Burgundy .

Originally, the Courtenay family built a moated castle in the 13th century , which came to François de Coligny in the 16th century via the Champigny and Courcelles families . He had the medieval castle demolished and started a new building on its foundations in the forms of the late French Renaissance . In contrast to Ancy-le-Franc Castle, which is around ten kilometers away, the aspect of defensibility was retained a little during the construction of the facility in Tanlay, despite its classicist references. Under the Coligny family, the castle was an important base for the French Protestants during the Huguenot Wars . Completed in the 17th century by Michel Particelli in the style of Louis-Treize , Tanlay survived the French Revolution almost unscathed, unlike many other noble residences .

The palace complex is located in the Armançons valley on its right bank, not far from the Bourgogne Canal . Its three-wing main building stands on a trapezoidal island surrounded by moats , to the east of which the farm buildings and the gateway are located. The buildings, together with the surrounding park, have been under monument protection as Monument historique since December 20, 1994 , after earlier protected statuses had been canceled . Parts of the outdoor facilities and eight rooms in the Corps de Logis can be viewed for a fee. While the castle park can be freely explored by visitors, access to the interior is only possible as part of a guided tour. In 2015 the castle counted 13,200 paying visitors. In the summer, exhibitions of contemporary art take place in the farm buildings.

history

Residents and owners

middle Ages

In the 12th century, the de Noyers family owned the castle. Around 1197 it came through the marriage of Adelines de Noyers with Guillaume I. de Courtenay, a grandson of the French King Louis VI. , as a wedding gift to its gender. Over several generations the property was passed on to the eldest son until Robert III. de Courtenay died childless between 1342 and 1345. Since his younger brother Jean had died before him and without any descendants, Robert's youngest brother Philippe succeeded him as the owner of Tanlay. His granddaughter Jeanne I inherited him in 1385. With her, the era of the de Courtenay family as owners of Tanlay ended, because they too died childless, and so Pierre de Chamigny, cousin Jeanne I, became the new landlord of Tanlay. In 1485, after the childless death of Aymé de Chamignys, ownership changed to his sister Philiberte. She brought Tanlay to her husband Philippe de Courcelles, with whom she had been married since about 1450.

16th Century

A generation later, the de Courcelles de Tanlay family died out with Philippe's children Edme and Catherine, both of whom had no offspring. In his will of February 13, 1533, Edme considered various relatives with his property: a third of Tanlay went to Claude des Essarts, the grandfather of Henry IV's mistress , who was married to Claude de Chamigny. The second third was given to the underage children of Louise de Montmorency , widow Gaspard I. de Colignys , a grandson of Edme's uncle Pierre de Courcelles. The last third left Edme Catherine de Beaujeu-Montcoquier, the younger sister of his mother Philiberte. This was Tanlay in coup occupy, to ensure the rule for her son. An inheritance dispute followed, which only ended in 1535, when Louise de Montmorency bought the castle and estate from the co-heirs for 7,500 livres tournois on April 3, thus reuniting the property in one hand. In 1547 she left the dilapidated facility to her youngest son François de Coligny, seigneur d'Andelot. Together with his older brothers Gaspard II and Odet , he made Tanlay an important base for the Huguenots during the French Wars of Religion . The leaders of the Protestant party often met there , including Louis I de Bourbon, prince de Condé , whose Noyers castle was not far away. Especially in 1567 and 1568, when the situation for the Coligny brothers became more and more uncertain due to the king's increasing dissatisfaction with the Protestant party, François and Gaspard II preferred to stay in Tanlay and thus far away from the court.

17th century until today

Michel Particelli d'Hémery commissioned the completion of the castle; Engraving by Balthasar Moncornet , 17th century.

François bequeathed Tanlay to his daughter Anne in 1569, who came from his second marriage to Anna von Salm in 1564. She brought the complex, which had meanwhile been converted into a palace, into her marriage to Jacques Chabot, Marquis von Mirebeau and Count von Charny . After the childless death of the older son Charles, Anne's daughter Catherine took over the castle in 1621 and in 1635 brought it into her second marriage to Claude Vignier, the first President of the Parliament of Metz . However, the couple lived most of the time in a castle in Champagne and cared little about Tanlay. Rather, it had columns and statues removed from the palace gardens in order to place them in their main residence. The two sold the palace complex on September 13, 1642 to the Chief Financial Officer under Louis XIV , Michel Particelli d'Hémery (also spelled d'Émery). He had the castle, which was still unfinished, completed and renamed the manor with royal approval from February 1647 to Hémery. The new name could not prevail, however, because after Particelli's death in 1650, the territory was again referred to as Tanlay. Particelli's son from his marriage to Marie Le Camus, Michel Particelly, Baron von Thorey, inherited the estate and a mountain of debts totaling 600,000  francs . In the beginning this was only considered extravagant and somewhat exaggerated, but its craziness and failures increased over time. The baron gradually seemed to go mad, so that his brother-in-law, State Secretary Louis Phélypeaux de La Villière, took over the administration of the Tanlay estate in October 1662. Michel Particelli died before December 1668 without heirs and was inherited by his sister Marie, whose husband had been in charge of the administration for several years. Louis XIV raised the rule for Louis Phélypeaux to the marquisate in 1671. Through Louis' son Balthazard, Marquis of Châteauneuf, Tanlay came to his eldest son Louis in 1700. He sold the property on November 28, 1704 to the royal adviser and governor of Saint-Denis, Jean Thévenin. His descendants are still the owners of the castle today. The last male member of the family was Jacques Thévenin, who died in 1957. The sole heiress was his only daughter Marguerite, who was married to Edouard de La Chauvinière. Their son is the current lord of the castle.

Building history

First palace construction

When Guillaume I. de Courtenay became Seigneur von Tanlay through his marriage to Adeline de Noyers, he decided to give up an old donjon on a hill as a residence and instead, in the first quarter of the 13th century, a larger castle in the valley surrounded by moats to build. François de Coligny had this first low castle demolished and, with the financial support of his brother Odet, began to build a castle in the French Renaissance style around 1555 using the old foundations and the existing moats. The material from the previous building was reused in the new building. The plans for the castle could come from the architect Bertrand de Cazenove, who was also responsible for the tomb of François' first wife Claude de Rieux. From 1558, François began building a monumental gateway on the southwest side of the palace area. Its architect is also not known, but it could have been Nicolas Ribonnier . In 1566 the construction of a castle park began. The Huguenot Wars prevented the entire construction work from being completed quickly. When François de Coligny died in 1569, the building of the palace was far from complete; only the southern part of the corps de logis including a stair tower , the south wing of the castle and the two adjoining round towers on the south and west corners were completed. At that time, the gate was still in the shell and was only completed around 1610 under François' successor Jacques Chabot. Its interior construction took much longer and was not finished when Chabot died in 1630.

Completion and expansion

After Michel Particelli acquired Tanlay Castle in 1642, he commissioned Pierre Le Muet to complete the complex the following year. The construction manager was the master mason Hugues Postel. Le Muet largely stuck to the original building plan and completed the property by enlarging the corps de logis and building a north wing to give the core structure a symmetrical exterior. In addition, he had a gatehouse built in the main axis as access to the main building. To the east of the monumental gate construction begun in the 16th century, a three-wing farm yard was built, which included a large stables . By purchasing the surrounding land, Particelli was also able to create a French-style garden in which a canal over 500 meters long was dug. A gallery was built on the upper floor of the castle between February 1646 and January 1648 according to the plans of Le Muets . In 1648 he had a chapel installed in one of the corner towers by creating a square room in the round tower.

The work commissioned by Particelli was enormous and was only completed in 1649, the year of his death. The construction site was huge because the numerous expansion measures were carried out in just five years. For the countless construction workers, two baths ( French barbiers chirurgiens ) were available to treat injuries and cure diseases. Particelli's completion of the castle devoured the vast sum of 2,500,000  livres .

From the 18th century

On the night of November 3rd to 4th, 1761, the northern part of the upper floor in the Corps de Logis and the northeast wing were partially destroyed by fire. The large gallery was also affected. The damage was subsequently repaired, but the gallery was not restored to its original size. The repair costs amounted to around 85,000 livres. The most important innovation in the castle in 1781 was the establishment of a small theater by the then lord of the castle, Étienne Jean Benoît Thévenin, 4th Marquis of Tanlay.

During the French Revolution , Tanlay Castle did not have to share the fate of many other aristocratic residences and survived this period almost completely unscathed. Only the coat of arms relief above the entrance to a stair tower was destroyed in 1793 because such representations were forbidden as symbols of feudalism .

After the gallery in the Corps de Logis had been restored by the painter Lebec in 1805 , repair work was carried out on the entire complex from 1862 onwards. This also included a renewed restoration of the gallery between 1869 and 1874 by Eugène Labbé and his colleagues, who later also worked for Count Gaspard-Louis Aimé de Clermont-Tonnère in the Ancy-le-Franc castle.

description

Site plan of the palace complex by Claude Sauvageot

Tanlay Castle is a multi-part complex surrounded by a castle park. Its three-wing main building stands on an island surrounded by moats and can be reached through a small gatehouse on the southeast side of the island. The moat is fed by the two streams Ru de Mélisey and Rau des Froides-Fontaines , which also supply a large canal in the castle park, and flows into the Armançon . In front of the castle island is the so-called Green Courtyard ( French Cour verte ), on the southern edge of which there is a large gate building with the main portal of the castle. To the east of the Grüner Hof are the castle's farm buildings - separated from it by a wall.

Gate building ( Petit Château )

Rear, simple facade of the Petit Château


An approximately 1.5 kilometer long, dead straight lime tree avenue leads to a gateway in the Louis-Treize style , which forms the main entrance to the palace area. The stone building is called Little Castle ( French Petit Château ) or Le Portal and is secured by a moat in front of it. A drawbridge used to run above it , which today replaces a stone arch bridge. The two storeys of the building rise on a 24 × 11 meter floor plan and are closed off by a slate roof with richly decorated dormer windows . Its two short side wings jut out like a risalit from the wall. The monumental gateway has a basement made of rustic masonry , which is repeated in the corner blocks of the building and in the window frames of the first floor. The upper floor is divided vertically by Corinthian double pilasters , the windows on this floor are all gabled . An ornamental frieze runs below the eaves . The chain holes of a former drawbridge can still be seen above the centrally located arched gate passage .

In contrast to the very elaborately designed display facade, which welcomes visitors coming from the southwest, the northeast facade of the building facing the Grüner Hof is much simpler.

Green yard and farm yard

Behind the gate is the so-called Green Courtyard to the northeast, measuring 63 × 50 meters. Its lawn is cut by several straight paths. While the western side facing the main building has no walls, it is closed on its three other sides by a high wall decorated with blind arcades . A door in the middle of the south-eastern part of the wall with the relief of a horse's head in its arched gable indicates that this is the access to the farm yard with stables behind. Another door in the northeast wall is decorated with a flower relief and leads into the palace garden.

To the south-east of the Grüner Hof is the farm yard , measuring around 88 × 72 meters, with a low, three-winged building that used to house the horse stables.

Main building ( Logis )

A three-arched stone bridge leads from the Grünen Hof over the 22-meter-wide moat to the gate house from the 17th century, known as Portail neuf , which used to be the gatekeeper's apartment . In front of the bridge are two approximately ten meter high, brick obelisks , the bases of which served as sentry boxes. The gatehouse in the manner of French pavilion buildings has a rhythmic structure of heavy rusticated half-columns in a Doric order . On both sides of its arched passage there are semicircular niches with stone tablets above.

The actual castle, which is sometimes referred to as the Grand Château to distinguish it from the gate building , is a three-winged building with a slate roof, the wings of which frame a courtyard of honor measuring approximately 42 × 32 meters . This was previously closed on the south-east side by a wall with blinds and battlements , but it was demolished in the 18th century due to disrepair and replaced by today's balustrade . Together with the three wings of the castle, the courtyard has a floor plan in the form of a slightly trapezoidal square, at each of the corners of which there is a round tower with a domed roof and a crowning lantern . The two garden-side corner towers in the north and west - Colignyturm ( French Tour Coligny ) and Tower of the League ( French Tour de la Ligue ) - are three- story and have a double lantern, while the southern archive tower ( French Tour des archives ) and the eastern chapel tower ( French Tour de la chapelle ) have only two storeys with a diameter of ten meters. The latter was named after the chapel inside, which can be recognized from the outside by a crowning cross on the lantern.

The north-west side of the castle island is completely occupied by the two-story corps de logis , which is bordered by two short side wings in the north and south. They are adjoined by lower, narrow tracts with galleries open to the courtyard on the ground floor. In the two inner corners of the three-wing building there are octagonal stair towers with three floors, each with a spiral staircase inside. Both are closed by a polygonal hood with a lantern. The southerly of the two towers is called the clock tower ( French Tour d'horloge ) and comes from the new palace built by François de Coligny in the 16th century. It was hardly or not at all changed during the expansion work under Michel Particelli. The northern stair tower was not added until the 17th century. There are stone heraldic plaques above the entrances to both towers. They show the coats of arms of the Coligny and Thévenin families. The coat of arms of the clock tower is accompanied by the inscription PREMIVM VIRTVTIS HONOS ( German  The price of virtue is honor ).

The facade of the Corps de Logis facing the courtyard is divided into seven axes by rectangular windows. There are twin pilasters between them. These are Tuscan on the ground floor, while Doric on the first floor. In the central axis is the main entrance, above which the initials Michel Particelli d'Hémerys (MDPH) are emblazoned in a cartouche . The classical garden facade of the main wing is kept much simpler. At roof level, dormer windows alternate with ox eyes , making them one of the few architectural decorations.

Much of the old interior and antique furniture has been preserved inside the logis . These include, for example, ornately decorated boiseries and furniture from the 17th and 18th centuries; including a secretary in the Louis quatorze style and a Renaissance cabinet with the coat of arms of the Lords of Tanlay. Some elaborately designed chimneys are still preserved in their original form, for example in the so-called Archbishop's Room ( French Chambre de l'Archevèque ) a more than 3.5 meter high chimney with two caryatids and figural reliefs, and a chimney, decorated with a bust of Admiral Coligny. Architecturally, two rooms deserve special mention. At first there is the created according to plans Le muets vestibule on the ground floor, the standing after eight in wall niches busts from marble Roman Emperor vestibule of the Caesars ( French Vestibule of the Césars ) is called. The arches of its vaulted ceiling rest on four Doric twin columns that divide the room into 3 × 3 compartments. On the garden side, the vestibule protrudes somewhat from the alignment of the building and thus gives the impression of a small porch. Inside there is a barred door, the wrought-iron lattice of which dates back to the 16th century and comes from the now defunct Cistercian Abbey of Quincy near Tanlay. An arched bridge leads from this door over the waterings to the former garden ground floor .

The second noteworthy room in the castle is the former ballroom, designed as a gallery, on the upper floor of the Corps de Logis . The 22.5 x 5.5 meters measuring space has a barrel-vaulted ceiling and was of Rémy Vuibert with grisaille paintings in trompe l'oeil painted technique. Its walls show alternating niches framed by fluted pilasters, in which statues are depicted based on ancient models, and simulated trophy reliefs. That is why the room is also called Antikengalerie ( French gallery des antiques ). The ceiling is decorated with a painting that imitates a coffered ceiling with rosettes and reliefs. In some places you can find the initials of Étienne Jean Benoît de Thévenin and his son Baptiste-Louis, which the painter Lebec added during a restoration in 1805. The current condition of the hall results from work carried out there in 1952 by the restorer Gaston Chauffrey.

Two of the interiors in the league's 9.4 meter tower also have striking paintings. On the ground floor, the maritime motifs of a ceiling painting in the Pompeian style suggest that the room may have been the study of Admiral Gaspard II de Coligny. Between grotesques and trophies, fish, crabs, dolphins, newts and turtles can be seen there.

On the second floor of the tower there is an allegorical ceiling painting on the dome , personifying the members of the Catholic Valois royal court under Catherine de Medici and members of the Protestant Huguenot party as ancient gods . The room is therefore called Olympkabinett ( French Cabinet d'Olympe ). The work is unfinished because one part consists only of outline drawings applied to the ceiling. Presumably, the royal arrest warrant against François de Coligny and the ensuing flight of his family to Noyers resulted in the immediate stop of all construction work and thus also of the interior decoration. The author of the painting has not yet been identified, perhaps it is an artist named Larme who worked in the Corps de Logis in 1568. The most important protagonists of the French wars of religion are gathered in the allegory. Catholics are portrayed as symbols of vice and war, while Huguenots stand for ideals and virtues . In the middle of the two parties stands Janus , whose first face looks grimly at the Protestants, while his second face smiles at the Catholics. Which deity represents which contemporary has not yet been fully deciphered. The artist could have oriented himself to a work by Pierre de Ronsard . Among other things, his Hymn IV from the volume Les Hymnes of his complete works and the poem Le temple de Messeigneurs le Connétable et des Chastillons come into question . Depending on the work on which the interpretation is based, there are sometimes different assignments. You can see Diana of Poitiers ( Diana or Venus ), François de Coligny ( Hercules ), Gaspard II. De Coligny ( Neptune ), Catherine de Medici ( Juno or Minerva ), Odet de Coligny (Hercules), Henri I. de Lorraine, duc de Guise ( Mars ), Margaret of Valois (Minerva), Renée de France ( Themis ), Charles de Lorraine-Guise ( Mercury ), Anne de Montmorency (Mars), as well as the French King Charles IX. ( Pluto , Janus or Jupiter ). The artist created this before 1569 Secco painting of tempera is the school of Fontainebleau Act. His ceiling painting is obviously inspired by works by Primaticcio and Rosso Fiorentino . From Fiorentino's series Dieux dans les niches ( German gods in niches ), for example, Juno with peacock, Mercury and Proserpina served as a template for his deities. The models for the figures, which are grouped around an anvil with hammers, come from the painting Les Cyclopes à la Forge de Vulcain by Primaticcio, made between 1541 and 1543 for the cabinet of Francis I in Castle Fontainebleau .

Castle Park

Part of the approximately 58  hectare castle park is enclosed by a 4400 meter long wall. Much of its area is now used as a golf course. The park was laid out in the French style and is criss-crossed by a network of straight paths. The most striking design feature is the 526 meter long and 25 meter wide canal, at the eastern end of which stands a small classical moated castle with Doric columns as a point de vue . The canal is lined with trees that are more than 100 years old.
