En un regard
Le château en bref
The present château was built in 1685 on the initiative of T. Fallet de Bernières, treasurer of the parish council of Bény, on the site of an earlier building. Its façade originally had six bays.
In the second half of the 18th century, his son, Claude-François Fallet de Bernières, undertook major extension and refurbishment works. Two new bays were added to the building, together with a return wing at right angles facing the main courtyard. He also had several outbuildings constructed, including a cider press, a bakehouse and stables, as well as a chapel.
At the same time, a park was laid out around the château. It still retains its original layout, with its alleys and hornbeam hedges. An orangery was also built, along with a gallery used as a greenhouse and topped by an Italian-inspired balustrade.
