Description
The construction of the castle began at the end of the 16th century, carried out by Jacques de Croixmare. In the 18th century, the park was transformed into a French garden, with the creation of a water circuit, a vegetable garden and various plantations. Towards the end of the 18th century, the castle, which belonged to the Duke of Penthièvre, was converted into a retirement home for its employees. The latter has made significant changes to the castle and also built installations such as a large common, a dairy, a cooler and a manufacture. In 1793, it was sold as a national property and at the beginning of the 19th century, Marshal Suchet bought it. Between 1817 and 1825, a complete restoration was made, the set of the ground floor was installed by the architect Lacornée, and the park was modified in English style according to the plans of Belguise, a gardener engaged in 1825. In 1885-1886, the estate was sold to the family of Maistre. The factory was converted into a painting workshop where Henri de Maistre created a lot between the two world wars.
