Audigast Castle

Today's listed castle was built in 1753 on the foundations of a medieval moated castle, first mentioned in 1330, as a two-storey building with nine axes and a baroque mansard roof. The facade is structured by a central risalit, which is closed by a triangular gable. In the south wing there were once the living and utility rooms of the staff, in the northwest corner there is a round stair tower. The interiors on the first floor are accessed by a double staircase running in opposite directions. On the second floor there is a ballroom that extends through the entire depth of the building. The castle, which was converted for residential purposes after 1945, has been vacant since the mid-1990s and is now owned by a cooperative that has been gradually renovating the building since 2011. In 2013 the castle received a new roof and is thus secured in its existence for the next few years. Of the former farm buildings, only the horse stable and the eastern part of the former barn as well as part of the cowshed have been preserved due to the effects of the war. The grounds of the castle park suffered from being used as an orchard in the post-war period and from multiple tree felling. An artifact has been kept in the castle since the beginning of the 19th century, which is related to the legend of the white horse and is supposed to protect the castle from fires. The background is the life story of the then lord of the castle Hyazint de Moisy.Source: Wikipedia

I've driven through Audigast hundreds of times and finally found time to look behind the greenery beside the road. The moated castle with its enchanted park is completely surrounded by a moat and can be walked around on a path. Always beautiful views, especially in spring.

There is nothing to add to what has been written above...except: if you like wild garlic, you will find it in the adjacent forest in quantities that can tolerate a small bunch being carefully harvested for enjoyment :)
