Origin and history
The castle of the Granges was built around 1770, illustrating the architecture of the rural estates of the second half of the eighteenth century. Its simple plan, its stone walls and brick walls, as well as its "French-style" park – which today has a large driveway leading to a green courtyard – reflect the aesthetic codes of the time. The moat and the access bridge, still visible, underline its seignorial character.
At the beginning of the 19th century, the park was reshaped into a landscaped garden, with winding alleys crossing the back of the estate, now transformed into an undergrowth. The 18th century cooler, protected by a terrace, retains its vaulted room and its original well. The walls of the old vegetable garden, now surrounding a meadow, and the farm – redesigned in the 19th century to accommodate stables and saddlery – testify to the functional adaptations of the site.
Ranked a Historic Monument, the castle has seen its facades, roofs, and interior elements (walls, fireplaces, wrought iron ramp) protected since 1989. A second registration in 2010 extended this protection to the park, the cooler, the vegetable garden, the farm, and its equestrian facilities (stalls, saddlery). These measures preserve an architectural and landscaped ensemble representative of the evolutions between the former Regime and the modern era.
