Château de Villiers-Saint-Denis

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Villiers-Saint-Denis, in the Aisne department, was rebuilt in the 18th century on the site of a medieval castle, some remains of which partly survive in the cellars. It was the residence of Émilien de Nieuwerkerke, director of the museums of France from 1849 and later superintendent of Fine Arts under the Second Empire. A sanatorium was built in the park and opened in 1930; the estate, owned by the La Renaissance Sanitaire foundation, now houses a hospital. The façades and roofs, the interior staircase, the wrought-iron banister and the entrance gates have been listed (inscrits) as historic monuments since 14 September 2007.
