A specific accommodation option in Boncourt-le-Bois is the Hôtel Château de la Berchère: it offers 19 rooms in various categories, and the hotel has an 18-hectare park. The Château de la Berchère is also a prominent cultural and historical landmark in the village: it was rebuilt in 1634 and retains a southeast tower, a spiral staircase and other medieval remains. The village also has a stone washhouse, a gilded altar in the Église de l’Assomption and three ponds in the wooded east.

Stay at the Hôtel Château de la Berchère

The number of rooms and the park describe different aspects of the hotel. The park covers 18 hectares and belongs to the hotel. The range of rooms and the size of the associated grounds are therefore separate features, rather than being subsumed into a general description of the property.

The hotel shares its name with the Château de la Berchère, whose construction history has shaped the village. The room categories and the park area describe different aspects of the property; neither feature replaces the other.

Several periods of history at the Château

The Château de la Berchère is listed as a historic monument. Its reconstruction in 1634 stands alongside surviving medieval remains, including a southeast tower and a spiral staircase. This distinction between periods is informative: 1634 refers to the reconstruction, while the features mentioned are among the medieval remains.

The building’s character is also described through several specific details. The Château stands on a rectangular platform surrounded by moats. On the ground floor is a gallery with a stone ceiling that features partly carved coffers. There are Gothic openings on the south wing. In addition, a chapel with stucco decoration was fitted out in the 18th century. Together, these details reveal different aspects of the estate: its layout, the design of the gallery and south wing, and the decorated chapel.

Washhouse, church and remembrance

The Boncourt-le-Bois washhouse is located on Rue du Château. Its rectangular basin is made of dressed stone. Its shape and material give this building a different character from the Château’s more elaborately described architectural features. The Église de l’Assomption houses a gilded wooden altar from the 17th century. Here, the focus is on a single piece of furnishings, with its material, gilding and date. The washhouse and altar thus offer two different perspectives on the village’s architectural and artistic heritage.

The memorial « Aux braves de la division Cremer » commemorates the fighting in the Nuits-Saint-Georges area during the 1870 war. Its subject of remembrance thus extends beyond a single building into regional history. It adds a distinct historical reference to the architectural and artistic history.

Ponds and fishing

Three ponds lie in the wooded eastern part of Boncourt-le-Bois. Fishing at the communal Étang Sertelot is another local feature: the Association des Étangs Sertelot works to enhance the pond and organise fishing. If you would like to fish there, please check the local access and permit rules in advance.

Boncourt-le-Bois thus brings together a range of themes: the history and architecture of the Château, individual buildings and works of art in the village, regional remembrance, and a wooded landscape with ponds.
