Château de la famille de Chambray

The château exhibits distinct architectural elements from the 16th and 18th centuries, with an entrance postern and chapel dating from the 15th century.

In 1944, the Marquis de Chambray transferred ownership of the castle to the Ministry of Agriculture, marking a transition from private residence to public institution.

The property holds both monument historique inscrit and site naturel classé designations, recognizing its architectural and environmental value to French heritage.

Visitors can access the exterior grounds daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with guided tours of the interior spaces available through advance reservations.

The 32-hectare estate includes a 1740 chartreuse, a dovecote, an old press, and an arboretum, now serving as an agricultural education center.
