Château de Grandville

Château de Grandville is a neo-Palladian castle featuring Ionic columns, a central loggia, and symmetrical decorated facades on both sides. The estate includes outbuildings and a distinctive neo-Gothic chapel that completes the architectural composition.

The castle was built between 1820 and 1825 by architect Étienne Blon for Aristide Locquet de Grandville, who served as mayor and constituent assembly member. The neo-Gothic chapel was added later in the 1840s.

The chapel in neo-Gothic style is dedicated to Saint Anne and reflects how faith shaped the estate's design. It shows the religious importance that the owners placed on the property.

Access to the estate requires advance planning since it is a private monument with limited visiting hours. It is advisable to contact local tourism offices beforehand to confirm access and gather details about guided tours.

The English-style park was designed by Jean-Dominique Noisette and preserves its original layout and plant selections from the 19th century. This garden represents a rare example of landscape design from the Restoration period.
