Augustin-Claude de La Vacquerie - Lord of Senefontaine and Flambermont
Sponsor of the castle in the 18th century
Origin and history
The castle of Flambermont, located in Saint-Martin-le-Node in the Oise, is built around the middle of the eighteenth century by Augustin-Claude de La Vacquerie, local lord and war commissioner. The building, typical of the aristocratic architecture of the period, combines brick and stone on four levels, with a dardian roof and a hierarchical interior organization: ground floor dedicated to services, first floor for receptions, and last floor reserved for family privacy.
A greenhouse of the palmarium type, added after 1890, illustrates the 19th century craze for exotic plants. Metal structure and hammered glass, it peaks 10 meters under a dome with curved glasses, flanked by two symmetrical wings. Restored since 2012, this greenhouse, like the castle, is protected as historical monuments (inscription in 2007, completed in 2012 to include the park, facades, and remarkable interiors like a paneled lounge).
The estate, now owned by an association, retains elements characteristic of its past: a court of honor, a garden of pleasure, and fence walls including a carriageway door. Its architecture and palmarium testify both to the legacy of the Enlightenment and the technical innovations of the Industrial Revolution, while reflecting the social status of its sponsors, linked to the royal and then imperial administration.
