Château des Ormes, 18th century aristocratic castle in Les Ormes, France.
The castle presents an 80-meter-long facade with a central building spanning three levels, enhanced by decorated reliefs and elegant dormers.
The Voyer d'Argenson family acquired the estate in 1729, transforming it into a major architectural complex through renovations and extensions until the 20th century.
Marc-Pierre de Voyer, Minister of War under Louis XV, established a library containing 8,000 volumes and received philosophers Diderot and d'Alembert at the castle.
The castle opens its doors during Heritage Days in September, with adult admission at 4 euros and payment accepted by credit card only.
The estate includes a preserved ice house from 1807 and contains a historical pleasure boat discovered in 2001 within its grounds.
