Le château en bref
The Château de Paars is a château located in the commune of Paars, in the Aisne department. Built in the second half of the 18th century and completed in the 19th century, it displays classical architecture, with regularly ordered façades beneath a Louis XV-style mansard roof inspired by the Mansart model. The entrance is marked by a half-moon stone gateway. The outbuildings, set perpendicular to the main residence, comprise a central square dovecote flanked by two low wings housing a barn and stables; this ensemble is considered one of the most accomplished examples of château outbuildings and seigneurial farms in the Soissonnais in the 17th and 18th centuries. At the end of the 18th century, the estate belonged to the Grimberg family, before being bought by Louis Resnier in 1796 and then belonging to Sieyes between 1800 and 1804. The château's façades and roofs, the interior staircase, the wash house, the outbuildings, the entrance gateway, the courtyard walls and the gardens have been listed (inscrits) as historic monuments by decrees of 11 June 1980 and 14 October 2002. Privately owned, the château is not open to visitors.
