Heritage Days - Château de Brosses

As part of the European Heritage Days, the commune of Dorlisheim welcomes you to guided tours, exhibitions and wooden games. On the program:

Guided tour: in the footsteps of taverns and restaurants of yesteryear.
Free discovery of the taverns and restaurants that flourished in the 18th and 19th centuries. Some have survived until recent times. Meet in the château courtyard.
The Countess Marie de Brosses and her husband, Baron Hervé de Brosses, were the château's last occupants. Baron Alfred Hervé-Gruyer, born in Strasbourg in 1860 and grandfather of the Countess, gave his name to the château. His family was related to the Coulaux family, who owned several hardware factories in the Molsheim-Mutzig region. He bought the house in 1890 from the Hecht family (Hecht in German means pike, hence the fish on the turret). According to an inscription on the cellar vault, the house was built in 1714 by the architect of the Château d'Ottrott. The house was restored in 1820 and finally transformed under the Second Empire (1868) with the addition of a round turret by the Hecht family. It was seized by the Germans in 1918, who stripped it of its library and official documents, and suffered further looting during the Second World War. The building was purchased by the town council in 1999 from the Hervé-Gruyer family. A major restoration project was undertaken, as the eastern tip of the château had to be demolished and rebuilt identically.
