Château du Sart, 18th-century castle in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, France.

The Château du Sart exhibits red brick and limestone architecture with surrounding moats that highlight its defensive character through the centuries.

Built in 1740, this castle belonged to the Fourmestraux lords and contained the Van der Cruisse de Waziers library until its destruction during World War I.

The castle now serves as a golf club headquarters, with its surrounding grounds transformed into an 18-hole course while maintaining its original structure.

Visitors can explore the historical pigeon house from 1761 during regular guided tours organized by the Villeneuve-d'Ascq Tourist Office.

The castle's pigeon house features a distinct architectural design combining a square base with a polygonal tower, following encyclopedia specifications from Diderot.
