The château was built by the architect Jean-Jacques Arveuf-Fransquin (1802–76).
It was located on the wooded summit of a hill planted with vines, and dominates the surrounding countryside and the village of Boursault.
It was set in a magnificent park covering 11 hectares (27 acres).

The château was designed in a Neo-Renaissance style, to be used for formal receptions.
It has monumental architecture with a high roof and heavily decorated windows.
It resembles the Château de Chambord, but has many more fireplaces.
An 1882 description said, "This beautiful residence contains all the riches of modern art, and attests to the generous and intelligent efforts of the princes of finance and industry to maintain the national taste at the level of its ancient traditions."

The Château Deganne on the sea front in Arcachon was built in 1853 by Adalbert Deganne.
From the exterior, this building, now the Casino de la Plage, is an exact replica of the Château de Boursault.
