In 1901, the Château was sold by Monsieur Charles du Broutel to the Le Marquis de Longvillers (the cousin of Jean-Baptiste Loisel le Gaucheur du Broutel) whose house had been destroyed in a fire. Monsieur Charles du Broutel was the only direct bloodline member of the Broutel family to survive the fire. His reasons for selling the Château were personal. He claimed that he was unable to bear the memories that the Château held of his deceased relatives. The Longvillers family resorted many of the paintings in the Château.
