Château d'Ormesson

The Château d'Ormesson is a historic castle estate in Ormesson-sur-Marne featuring symmetrical facades and water features fed by the Morbras River. The grounds are structured with extensive forest pathways that connect the surrounding landscape to the main buildings.

The castle was built at the end of the 16th century by Louis Picot, lord of Santeny, and passed to the d'Ormesson family in 1630. The estate acquired marquis status in 1758, marking its rising importance in the region.

The estate reflects French Renaissance design principles visible in its decorative details and architectural language throughout the grounds. These elements shape how the space presents itself to those who visit.

The castle sits on private grounds and is normally not open without advance notice to the owners. Certain areas open during heritage days and special events, so checking ahead helps plan your visit.

The farm buildings form a squared compound called 'la ferme' connected to the west pavilion. An 1810 barn extension reveals how the complex was expanded over time to meet changing needs.
