      Nine centuries of history in the heart of Beaujolais wine country<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      Located at the border emerging from Charlemagne's legacy, between the Kingdom of France and the Holy Germanic Empire, it first played the role of a stronghold in the Middle Ages. \"The Douby,\" which flows below the castle, symbolizes this boundary. Today, a few kilometers away, it is the border between the departments of Sa\u00f4ne-et-Loire and Rh\u00f4ne.<\/p>

      In the 15th century, war roared in Belleville. Corcelles was partially destroyed. Antoine de Laye undertook the reconstruction of the castle, accompanied by his son. Many architectural elements testify to a desire to rebuild a defensive fortress.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t

      It was only after the departure of the de Laye family that the Ch\u00e2teau de Corcelles took on another dimension. The Magdeleine family settled in Corcelles in 1522. This prestigious line, serving the King of France, was inspired by the new architectural trends of the Renaissance. Corcelles becomes a stately residence. The Magdeleines affixed their coat of arms at the entrance to the castle. \"Have love for the Magdeleine\" was their motto.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t

      The castle was sold in the 16th century to Lazare de Tircuy de la Barre. The family remained the owner for four centuries. The buildings underwent few architectural modifications and were spared by the French Revolution.<\/p>

      From the twentieth century, many restorations were undertaken, without additions or redesign.<\/p>

      The castle was partially registered as a historical monument on February 4, 1927.<\/p>

      Since 1984, it has been owned by the Richard family, who have done everything possible to restore the ch\u00e2teau and reveal the potential of the wine-growing estate's terroir.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t<\/ol>\n\n\t\t
