Built in the 18th century, this majestic castle is classified as a historic monument. The castle was constructed between 1719 and 1720 by a local noble family.

It was restored in the 1980s to restore its former grandeur. Access is via a magnificent pine-lined avenue, at the end of which the castle proudly stands.

In total, there are 15 hectares of landscaped parks, including 4 hectares of remarkable gardens that highlight the castle’s unique atmosphere.

The castle, with its rectangular architecture and one floor, covers approximately 1500 m², featuring a series of rooms with grand volumes and period elements.

A sumptuous through hall welcomes visitors, showcasing the grandeur of the past with its high ceilings and magnificent windows. This leads to the large living room of over 60 m², overlooking the French gardens.

The adjoining dining room is dominated by a lavish fireplace, reflecting the castle’s opulence. Finally, to emphasize the period’s splendor, the music room has also been restored.

The upper floor features a splendid and vast gallery extending forty-five meters along the entire length of the castle.

This level houses the main bedrooms of the nobles of the time, also meticulously restored.

The French gardens have been recreated and restored according to the original gardens, based on old images and plans.

The property includes several outbuildings, including:
- An Orangery
- Facing southwest with a private garden
