Castle of Nexon

The castle features two circular towers on its garden facade, with a sundial decorated by a window containing twin bays and openings.

Built in 1633 by Leonard de Gay, the castle remained the property of the Gay de Nexon family until 1983 when the municipality acquired it.

The castle grounds include stables and a permanent gas-heated circus tent, reflecting the strong connection between the estate and equestrian activities.

The castle park extends over 38.5 hectares and remains open to visitors throughout the year with free access to the exterior grounds.

The site contains a specialized garden with a therapeutic plants section, an orchard, a labyrinth, and water features within its grounds.
