En un regard
Le château en bref
Château de Troissereux stands in the Thérain valley, near Beauvais (Oise). Of medieval origin, it was largely rebuilt in the 15th century and remodelled in the 16th, with later campaigns in the 17th and 18th centuries. This Renaissance L-shaped building, in brick and white limestone, consists of a main wing, a low gallery wing and the Tour du Temps, which houses a brick spiral staircase and a classified medieval clock; a grand staircase with a wrought-iron handrail serves the interior. The estate, surrounded by moats and ornamental pools, includes outbuildings, former mills on the Thérain and a 12-hectare park created in the 16th century, attributed to Bernard Palissy, with a large 330-metre canal and an arboretum. The façades, roofs, gateway, courtyard and moats have been listed as monuments historiques since 1983, and the park has been protected since 1992. A family home still lived in, the château is open to visitors by reservation and hosts events and private hire.
