At the beginning of the last century, the buildings fell into complete disrepair and the domain was mainly used as a farm. The first structural renovations started in 2004 and are now finally being completed with the new tourist destination. The domain is still known in the area as 'le Chateau de Rennepont'.

The former grandeur of Domaine Rennepont can be felt in this domain, which was first mentioned in writings in 1605.
