Allerey-sur-Saône (pronounced as /fr/, literally Allerey on Saône) is a commune in the Saône-et-Loire department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region in eastern France.[2]
The castle of Allerey sits in the east of the main town of Allerey, in the center of its private gardens.
The castle has existed since the 13th century at least.
Lords of the castle include Hugues de Mailly in the 14th century, and Jean de Lugny in the 15th century.
In 1636, the castle was burned down by Croatian soldiers, but later, in the 18th century, was reconstructed by Pierre Espiard-Humbert d'Allerey.[3]
