Château de Brécy, Historical castle in Saint-Gabriel-Brécy, France.
The château features four ascending terraces connected by convex steps, leading to a grand gate that opens toward the sky.
The castle's construction began in the 17th century and concluded in the 18th century, receiving historical monument status in 1903.
The gardens incorporate traditional French design elements with sculpted topiaries, architectural balustrades, and seasonal flowers including tulips, irises, and peonies.
The castle and its gardens remain open to visitors, offering guided tours that showcase both the architectural features and landscaping designs.
The garden's terraces increase in width to create an optical illusion, enhancing the perspective along the central pathway.
