Château d'Ognon, Renaissance castle in Villers-Saint-Frambourg-Ognon, France

The Château d'Ognon features extensive terraced gardens with water features, stone staircases, and decorative gloriettes distributed across multiple levels of the property.

First mentioned in 1197 as belonging to Barthélemy d'Ognon, the estate received King François I for hunting activities in 1526 during the ownership of Jean de La Fontaine.

The garden statues represent the Four Parts of the World and different Seasons, reflecting the artistic preferences of 17th and 18th-century French aristocracy.

The park opens to visitors during Heritage Days in September, allowing access to the grounds and remaining architectural structures of the former estate.

The original château was demolished in 1957, but the park retains its historical layout with a water mirror and ornamental features designed by notable landscape architects.
