Château d'Arrancy

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château d'Arrancy is a private château in the commune of Arrancy, in the Aisne. The present main residential building dates mainly from the 17th century, with alterations in the 19th century. The château is surrounded by a five-hectare park laid out in the English style in the early 19th century by the Scottish landscape designer Thomas Blaikie, who also designed the Parc de Bagatelle and the Parc Monceau in Paris. The park combines wooded areas (groves, a lime-tree avenue, a hornbeam arbour) with open spaces (meadows, kitchen garden, pond). The façades and roofs of the château, with the exception of the modern south wing and the associated outbuildings, as well as the park and gardens, have been listed as historic monuments since 13 August 2008. The estate belongs to the La Tour du Pin family. The park is open to the public for free visits during the summer season.
