Parc du Château de Frazé

When discovered from the road along the river, the Château de Frazé shows all its majesty.

The park gates open out on to the village square by the church. There are still traces of the hillock erected in the XVth century with the ballast of the canal that was dug around the village. The gardens spread out before the castle and contribute to the feeling of unity in this rather oddly-matched building complex: XIXth century castle, XVIth century stables and shed, Renaissance edifices…
The gardens were completely rethought at the end of the XIXth century by Monsieur Dulong de Rosnay, an uncle to the current proprietors. He created a beautiful ensemble in the French style. The woods of the park are also ordered in the French manner, with star-spreading avenues leaving a central roundabout encircled by a ring-shaped avenue. Oaks can be found in abundance, as well as hornbeam.

A recent plantation of American oaks provides some prodigious colour in the autumn.
