Now listed as a Historic Monument for its facades and roofs, its staircase with banister, its alcove bedroom and its first floor bedroom, the Lavernette private mansion at Besançon dates from the end of the 18th century.
Work of the architect Claude-Antoine Colombot for Count Abel-Michel Bernard de La Vernette Saint-Maurice, it passed into the hands of the current owners in the 1970s. Last example of this type of construction in Besançon, it has kept its exterior and interior decorations intact.
A very beautiful aristocratic hotel, the Lavernette private mansion reveals a façade on the street with seven bays on three levels. It also has a carriage driveway with Serlian bay windows, as well as an incredible main staircase in bossage.
