Tips

The legacy of this castle has a particular history of what I was told (therefore with all the usual reservations about "rumors and their veracity"! First of all, the will had to be an association and then two release clauses had to be respected on pain of nullity of the succession. the Léopold BELLAN foundation which is the owner today. On the other hand what is very surprising is the enormous building site which stands on the side of the Castle at not even twenty meters. Ten modern concrete buildings without any respect for the architectural style, are in the process of being built. One can wonder if the services of the Buildings of France "closed their eyes" and accepted the construction under the pretext that they are buildings with social vocation like mention it more ieurs panels (one of the clauses of the leg, remember !!!!) ........ surprising all the same when you know the requirements of Historical Monuments !!!! For the moment the castle does not seem to be visited because it is enclosed by gates, partially masked by the construction huts and with signs prohibiting entry to the site ..... a pity because the castle is very beautiful on the outside , with magnificent red brick facing in the facade. A must see.

We visited the castle in July 2025, the moat is empty and it all locked up but unoccupied.
Its worth having a look at because you can get a good view through the front fence and gate.
