Description

The original château was built on a square base by Ligier Richier in 1550 on order of the local lord, Gilles de Trèves. The domain was expanded by the purchase of a paper mill and a mill attested from the 14th century over the Saulx river near the village of Lisle-en-Rigault.

Acquired in 1892 by the Claudel family, an English garden was built on the grounds. Today, the garden is classified[2], along with the Cast iron bridge on the Saulx[3]. It was here where Paul Claudel wrote one of his greatest plays called "Le Partage de Midi".

A part of the park is located within the municipality of Lisle-en-Rigault.
