Since 1999, a significant serie of restoration efforts has been undertaken to return this beautiful piece of French heritage to its original state. Some of the restoration work has been made possible with funding and help from the DRAC Bourgogne (the Burgundy board of cultural affairs) and in partnership with the INP, the National Heritage Institute.

The activities include significant interventions in the park, the interior of the chateau (furniture, mural paintings, and paintings) as well as the exterior (facade, panelling) and the annexes (outbuildings, depots, walls, benches).
