Notes: Château de Rupt-sur-Saône is a castle located in Rupt-sur-Saône, in France1. It is near the road salt, and dominates the Saône Valley.The area of the castle consists of several buildings built in different periods:
A tower of the thirteenth century high of 33 meters, the only remains of the first medieval castle.
The "Little Castle", a building with original architecture since built in the medieval ramparts of the twelfth century, and modified in the fifteenth.
A mansion built by General d'Orsay, which bought the castle in 1820.
A billiard room, also built by General d'Orsay in 1870.
An Italian-style farm, which can still visit the stables.
And numerous other outbuildings including a winery, a kennel and a greenhouse-orangery.

It was sold several times before being purchased in 1820 by Count Albert Gaspard Grimod Orsay, General Empire (whose tomb can be seen in front of Rupt-sur-Saône Church).The building is registered as historical monuments in 1991.
