Château de Mareuil, Historical château in Mareuil-sur-Ay, France
Description
Château de Mareuil is an 18th-century manor house featuring U-shaped outbuildings, twin entrance pavilions, and walled gardens that create a defined courtyard setting. Inside, an entrance vestibule leads to a staircase with an ornate wrought iron railing from the same period.
History
Construction took place between 1771 and 1774 under architect Chevotet's design, with Chaussard overseeing the completion. The estate later became home to Philippe d'Orléans from 1788 to 1792, a significant figure in French royal history.
Culture
The ground floor displays timber beams decorated with paintings from the Louis XIII era, and a stone fireplace features trompe-l'oeil architectural details that create optical illusions. These ornamental touches show the artistic care previous owners devoted to their living spaces.
Practical
The space is available for renting to host events and gatherings of varying sizes. Access to the rooms flows through the main vestibule, which provides clear orientation and easy movement throughout the property.
Did you know?
The estate preserves a functioning ice house from the 18th century, where ice was stored for use during warmer months. An orangery added in the 19th century demonstrates how later owners expanded the grounds to serve new purposes.
