Fréland Castle

Highlight • Other

In 1806, Joseph Falatieu, then owner of the Bains-les-Bains factory (Vosges) and since 1804, of the Pont-du-Bois forge, acquired the property of Freland which extends over the communes of Ambiévillers and of Mailleroncourt-Saint-Pancras. It includes a refinery forge (Forge de Freland) and a ruined house, located in Ambiévillers on the other bank of the Coney; a bridge connected the two banks. In 1824, J. Falalieu bought the land around the ruin.
In 1850, Annette Chavane, daughter of J. Falatieu, heiress to the Freland property, had the current residence built on the site of the old house in ruins; work began in 1848. A chapel built later (1867) and a concierge complete the ensemble. Finally, a park is created around the house, up to the bank of the Coney. The construction of the Eastern Canal in 1880 reduced the size of the park while the residence was exposed, on the edge of the reach. Downstream, a swing bridge, similar to that of Selles, was installed to cross the canal and reach the forge located on the other bank.
The Chavanne family still owns the house. (source: patrimoine.bourgognefranchecomte.fr/dossiers-entreprises/chateau-de-freland)
