Château de Ricquebourg, Heritage monument in Ricquebourg, France

The Château de Ricquebourg stands on stilts in the middle of a pond within a 44-hectare wooded estate in the Oise department.

Built in 1712 by Thomas Rivié, a former farrier who gained nobility after saving Louis XIV minister's horse, the château was reconstructed in 1925.

The design of the château follows the architectural style of the Grand Trianon at Versailles, featuring classical French elements and structural symmetry.

The foundations of the building require constant water immersion through a system of pond gates to maintain structural integrity and prevent deterioration.

The château combines an artificial island setting with an English landscape garden created by the Ridgway family in the late nineteenth century.
