Right next to the Saint-Martin church, with which it forms a somewhat timeless ensemble, the castle-farm of Ramet extends its vast quadrilateral of bricks and stones dating from the first half of the 18th century.
The central portal is surrounded by a high rectangular frontispiece and bordered by stone pilasters masoned in relief. The whole is surmounted by a triangular capital containing a slab with coat of arms. The paved courtyard, divided by a wall, accommodates, on the left, the castle and, on the right, the main building of the farm.
The castle, of which we can only see the street facade, does not necessarily attract the eye with its removed windows, its 20th century door and its stone courtyard. The most appropriate place to admire this property is to go to the far left of the building. The entrance to a park is then revealed, decorated with a pond, whose old trees conceal several buildings forming the ancestral castle of Ramet. There are 19th century lintel windows on the façade, some of which are topped with oculi.
The red color of the bricks contrasts perfectly with the surrounding greenery.
A little gem in its case!
