Château de Couvrelles

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Couvrelles is a château from the first half of the 17th century located in Couvrelles, in the Aisne. In the 19th century it belonged to several owners who left their mark on its history: François-Hyacinthe de Pompery, who developed a beet sugar factory there; then Marshal Georges Mouton, Count of Lobau, who entirely refurnished the château after acquiring it in 1824; and finally his son-in-law, Baron Casimir d'Ivry, who redesigned the building's surroundings and had his coat of arms carved on the façade overlooking the park. The estate's seigneurial chapel was destroyed during the First World War and was never rebuilt. The château's façades have been listed as a historic monument since 1927. Today it houses the Centre International de Rencontres de Couvrelles, which hosts seminars and receptions.
