In this impressive 60-hectare domain, the vestiges of an authentic XVIIIth century palace are enshrined in a vast park.

Walks are both pleasant and romantic, by the canals punctuated with stone balustrades. Majestic lines of linden trees emphasize the character of the castle ruins. The property had a very elaborate water system, with a spring bringing water to the ponds and canals, with support of an old “Bélier” mechanical system. An aqueduct eases the transport of water to its destination.
