Château de Bontin, Historical castle in Les Ormes, France
The Château de Bontin sits within rectangular moats and features steep roofs, large wooden beams, and multiple architectural structures from different periods.
The castle, dating from the end of the 16th century with modifications in the 17th century, served as residence for Sully, minister of King Henri IV.
The castle grounds include a park designed by André Le Nôtre, known for creating long pathways lined with hornbeam trees and geometric garden layouts.
Visitors can take guided tours in French and English from July through August, with tickets priced at 3 euros for adults and free for children.
The property maintains its original moat system and includes classified outbuildings from the Louis XIV period, preserving authentic 17th-century architectural elements.
