Built

It is to Jean Stuart that we owe the construction of the Château de Vézinnes. Indeed he married Claude de Laing in 1530, daughter of the lord of Vezinnes, Fontaine Géry and Lignières. Jean Stuart, descendant of a cadet of the house of Stuart, left the court of Scotland in order to take refuge with Louis XI. He was captain of the Scottish guard of François Ier. The castle remained in this family until 1650, to pass in the family of Pé, the barons of Tannerre and Louesme (relative by Claudine Stuart). Then Pierre du Pé sold it in 1710 to Nicolas Bazard, who had become an adviser to the King and controller of rents at the Hôtel de Ville in Paris. He undertook restorations of the property. In 1744, his grandson inherited it, Edme-Antoine de Boucher, Count of Flogny, known as the Abbé de Flogny. On his death in 1779, a long procedure of sharing gave the castle to Alexandre Louis Nicolas de Boucher, Count of Flogny, page of the King of Poland and husband of Henriette-Simone Anjorrant. They were the last lords of Vezinnes and died without heirs.

Lived

The Revolution brought the destruction of the original Chateau and it seems any records and drawings of what it looked like. There is mention in one piece of text that Vézinnes castle dominates the Armançon Valley.

Since the Revolution, following successions, the Chateau was fragmented, into the north and south pavilions that remain today.
