The Château de Trélon is a castle located in Trélon, in the north of France. It belongs to the de Merode family and has been registered as a historic monument since 1986. Built on the site of an old 15th-century fortress, the castle has undergone significant transformations over the generations, with great attention always paid to the architecture. It is a majestic Louis XIII style house, richly decorated with collections of furniture, tapestries, Sèvres porcelain and beautiful works of art.
The de Merode family is one of the largest families that has been associated with most European courts throughout history. Since the 15th century, members of the House of Merode have held titles such as count, baron of the Holy Empire and prince. They are related to families such as Monaco, d'Arenberg, the Spanish and Italian royal families... The estate has been in the family since at least 1580.
The castle offers guided tours from April to October and promises a visit you will long remember!
