Château de Dampont, Historic castle in Us, France

The stone castle features three massive rectangular pavilions connected by short wings, forming an angular V-shaped layout with decorative watchtowers at corners.

Built between 1852 and 1870 for Count Kersaint, this neo-Renaissance castle replaced an earlier manor belonging to the Dampont family.

The castle represents the architectural vision of Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, who incorporated neo-Gothic elements into the neo-Renaissance design during the 19th century.

The interior spans 3,500 square meters across five levels, containing 91 rooms connected by a spiral staircase and 600 square meters of reception halls.

The 70-hectare park, designed by Edouard Redon in 1920, includes artificial ruins, a Corinthian temple, and an irregular pond fed by the Viosne River.
