Chateau d'Audour, 18th century castle in Dompierre-les-Ormes, France.

The rectangular castle features two wings, with outbuildings to the east and a square tower overlooking a former water feature to the west.

Built in 1775 by architect Caristie, the castle suffered damage during conflicts between Charles the Bold and Louis XI, leading to reconstruction by Guillaume de Fautrieres.

The gardens were landscaped by French botanist Philippe de Vilmorin, who made substantial contributions to French horticulture through his design choices.

The castle and its grounds remain private property since 1980, with no public access permitted to the buildings or surrounding park.

A 4.5-kilometer canal was constructed in the 18th century to connect the castle with other regional landmarks under Mathias-Claude de Damas ownership.
