En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de la Muette at Largny-sur-Automne, in the Aisne, occupies a fortified site documented since the 12th century. In the mid-16th century, the fortified castle was transformed into a pleasure residence (maison de plaisance); the laying out of gardens then erased much of the site's medieval arrangements. In the 19th century, the property was divided and underwent further modifications. The site today retains its elevated position as well as a large part of its terraced defensive layout: a corner turret, a dovecote, retaining walls and terraces are its visible elements. The park and garden of the château, including the remains of the medieval enclosure, its terraces and medieval cellars, were registered as historic monuments by decree of 27 December 2004. Privately owned, the château is not open to visitors.
