Very nearby, to the east of the main house, there is a large swimming pool and a pool-house with a surface of around 250 m², including a summer lounge and kitchen, a fitness room, a sauna and a Turkish bath. In between the two, there is a small chapel. Continuing southwards, a pond into which water flows from a spring, a former dovecote converted into an office and library as well a tennis court can be found. Nearby, a small bridge crosses the river that runs along the western side of the grounds, which have been carefully laid out.
