Domaine de Sandricourt

Domaine de Sandricourt is a heritage-protected estate spanning two municipalities connected by a four-kilometer main avenue. The property contains flower gardens with water cascades and several designed areas including a Diana parterre and circular clearings.

The estate originated with the Hédouville family and remained theirs for centuries before passing to other noble families in the 1700s. Its current design took shape in the late 1800s and received official monument protection in 1991.

The name comes from the Sandricourt family who once lived here. The gardens display French design traditions with their geometric shapes and carefully arranged sections.

Access is limited and requires advance contact with local authorities to check current conditions before visiting. Plan enough time to walk the extensive pathways throughout the grounds.

The estate bridges two separate municipalities through its layout, which is unusual for French garden design of its era. This arrangement allowed owners to showcase their land across a much larger territory than typical gardens.
