In Haute-Marne, a castle from the 16th and 18th centuries and its 4-hectare park. Former medieval fortress remodeled during the Renaissance and then in the 18th century, the castle, situated at the corner of two streets, occupies a singular position at the heart of the village, to which it seems to turn its back. At the edge of the road, its ashlar stone facade displays an almost austere rigor, dominated by a Renaissance gatehouse. This is organized around a carriage door, topped with two shield emblems hammered during the Revolution, flanked by two fluted pilasters framing a pedestrian door. On the first floor, a window crowned with a triangular pediment is framed by two pilasters. On either side of the gatehouse, two building bodies extend it and culminate in two square towers from the 15th century. Behind this facade facing the street, the castle deploys a U-shaped plan with two pavilions forming a right angle, framing an honor courtyard open to the park. The facade is rhythmically punctuated by a succession of tall double-leaf bays, equipped with wooden shutters in the French style that were removed during the recent restoration of the facade, their reinstallation remains conceivable. At the center, the gatehouse, protruding, dominates the ensemble with a wrought iron bell tower. It opens through a wide glazed carriage door with small panes. The main building extends on either side of this door. The one on its right stands out with a more elegant arrangement, where the openings, set in molded frames, are topped with semicircular arches whose keys bear a sculpted motif. On the ground floor, pilasters with Doric capitals rhythm the facade, while on the first floor, their Corinthian counterparts mark the bays and accompany the cornice with modillions that crowns the elevation. The right wing is distinguished by a large staircase, sheltered by a sizable awning, which is to be restored today. The property is almost entirely enclosed by walls, except for one boundary bordering a pasture, and the horizon is clear, with no visible construction. The facades and slate roofs are listed as Historic Monuments. Concealed behind a hedge and preceded by a courtyard, the outbuildings prolong this ensemble and close the street in a right angle.
