Château de la Barbée

The castle features a Neoclassical design with two square floors, an attic level, and a hipped roof constructed with cut stone materials.

Built in the late 18th century, the castle replaced a previous structure from the 15th century, maintaining parts of the original moat and three towers.

The property contains a reconstructed chapel dedicated to Sainte-Barbe, an orangerie along northern moats, and formal gardens that reflect French architectural traditions.

The castle participates in French heritage events, particularly during Journées du Patrimoine, when visitors can explore specific areas of this private property.

Architect Adrien Lusson added two pavilions and designed a monumental clock-adorned fronton on the western facade during the 1824 renovation.
