The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le clos de Brandans fait partie des fiefs du comte de Chalon en 1233. L'économie viticole est à l'origine de l'édifice. Au 14e siècle, la tour comporte un cellier, une salle basse et quatre tourelles. Le 16e siècle donne au château sa forme actuelle. L'édifice de plan en U intègre le cellier et la salle basse voûtée de la tour médiévale. Une tour d'escalier en vis dessert le corps de bâtiment principal, qui conserve deux tours circulaires sur les angles de l'ancien pignon. Au 19e siècle, l'aile nord des communs est développée.

The clos of Brandans was part of the fiefs of the count of Chalon in 1233. The wine economy was the origin of the building. In the 14th century, the tower comprises a cellar, a low chamber and four turrets. The 16th century gave the château its present form. The building of U-plan integrates the cellar and the low chamber vaulted from the medieval tower. A winding staircase tower serves the main body of building, which retains two circular towers on the angles of the former gable. In the 19th century, the north wing of the outhouses was developed.
