Description

In 1880, the castle was renovated in the Troubadour style. The interiors are decorated with a collection of medieval style tapestries and chimneys, including an imposing dining room, embellished ceramic tiles made by the Virebent workshop. The castle is part of an area that includes a park and ancillary buildings. The park extends to a pond, according to the principles of the English parks. Among the constructions, there is a molded cement honey house, designed to look like a log structure, which reflects the fashion of the end of the 19th century. The castle represents an example of the large aristocratic domains of this time.
