History
Barberêche Castle was built between 1522 and 1528, likely on the site of an earlier fortification, under Petermann de Praroman's direction in the Late Gothic style.
From 1839 until 1844, the castle underwent considerable remodeling, whereby the castle took its current shape in the Gothic Revival and Neoclassical styles.
The castle is currently privately owned.

gollark: It would be better if Discord could integrate with other more open platforms - even *Google Talk* could - so you could avoid the terrible client application and stuff could move to other things without horrible problems - but it *doesn't* and they *actively ban* this in the ToS (though to be fair you can do it anyway).
