Nestled within a centuries-old forest, this château represents the successful blend of history, nature, and culture. Built on the site of a former medieval motte and reshaped over the centuries, it now stands as a refined example of classical residential architecture from the 17th and 18th centuries, a rare harmony between aristocratic heritage and Enlightenment ideals. 

The architecture is defined by balanced proportions and restraint. Unlike the opulence of Versailles, this manor exudes noble elegance. The strictly symmetrical floor plan, calm facade topped with a triangular pediment, and the main building flanked by two low wings combine French classicism with Nordic influences such as polychrome bricks and round towers, a creation of a visionary architect. 

Inside, the rooms follow a clear hierarchy designed to accommodate both formal and private functions. A grand staircase in the entrance hall leads to the upper floors. Reception rooms - formal salon, sitting room, and dining room - flow seamlessly together. The upper floor alternates between private and reception spaces, including antechambers, boudoirs, and spacious bedrooms. Service wings, offices, galleries, and secondary rooms complete the layout, creating a sophisticated living environment. 

The estate is set on approximately one hectare centered around a spacious honor courtyard. Outbuildings including stables, barns, and staff quarters echo the main house's architectural language with authentic simplicity. The entire property reflects a self-sufficient noble estate from a golden era, with discreet Second Empire details recalling grand hunting traditions and social receptions.

In front of the château lies a landscaped park of about fifteen hectares. Open lawns, rare trees, a pond, and a chestnut-lined avenue create a setting that invites both contemplation and exploration. Here, nature is not tamed but engaged in dialogue. The sound of horses' hooves, the whisper of the wind, and the play of light through the foliage all contribute to a quiet conversation with the historic stone.
