Historical
The castle was commissioned by Pierre Langlois de Septenville, Postmaster General in the Kingdom, it was completed in 1751.
It has 100 doors and windows which, by clever calculations of proportion, do not give a massive appearance but elegant lines. The castle has remained authentic, as it was in the 18th century. Other buildings such as the dovecote are period and very well preserved. Some outbuildings suffered from a fire but were rebuilt in keeping with the style of the castle, in particular the mare house, the kennel, the watchmaking, the riding school and the farmhouse.
Despite its centuries of history, the castle has only known 10 owners, family and descendants more or less distant from Pierre Langlois de Septenville.
