Château des Aygues, 19th century castle in Étretat, France.
The Château des Aygues displays three distinct architectural styles across its facades: neo-Gothic, Italian, and neo-Louis XIII, creating a harmonious composition through symmetry.
Built in 1866 by architect Théodore Huchon, this seaside residence became a summer retreat for Spanish Queens Maria Cristina and Isabella II during the Second Empire period.
The castle houses an extensive collection of Chinese ceramics from the Song, Yuan Ming, and Ts'ing periods, including celadons and white porcelain pieces.
Visitors can explore the restored rooms filled with period furniture, portraits, and royal memorabilia by making advance reservations through the provided telephone number.
The one-hectare park features artificial rock formations inspired by Paris's Buttes Chaumont, multiple springs that gave the château its name, and a preserved ice house.
