The Chateau St. Jean, Ettore
Bugatti's home in Molsheim, France
The following picture series was taken
during a visit of Ettore Bugatti's home in Molsheim, France.
Currently the Chateau is beeing renovated, or more accurate, completely refurbished.
The main building is completely built up with all the elements of the original Chateau.
The architect is the same one as of the Autostadt or
the new assembly building of Skoda in Mlada
Boleslaw.
The Chateau
was ready in autumn 2000. It will serve as a representative
reception for Bugatti customers. The side buildings were are knocked down and completely
destroyed.
Unfortunately, especially the buildings surrounding the Chateau, provided their own charm.
We learned, that in the left side building, the horses were guarded and in the right
side building some other animals lived.
