The 16th century castle belonged to Raoul Moreau's who was an alchemist as well as the Treasurer of the King of France. He had a vision and hired the great Renaissance architect Philibert de L'Orme to build to the perfectly proportioned and positioned castle in order for him to continue his esoteric studies.

The castle was built to be in perfect harmony with the forces of Nature and the center arch of the chateau is where it seems that the sun is setting and rising following the Summer and Winter solstices.

Please note form mid November to the end of January the Castle Drawing Rooms are open only to groups.
