En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de Bel-Air, at Le Pertre, was built in two phases: a first Neo-Gothic building between 1870 and 1873, commissioned by Louis de Legge from the architect Jacques Mellet, and then an extension from 1910 to 1920, commissioned by Paul de Legge, who considered the first building insufficiently majestic. His relative Henri Mellet redesigned and enlarged it according to a plan with two wings set at 135° around a square central pavilion, in the Louis XIII style. The estate includes a formal French garden decorated with sculptures, an walled kitchen garden, a wood, a pond and tree-lined avenues. The château, the park and the outbuildings (gardener's house, former Guinefol manor house, gateway, service buildings, clock tower and well) have been listed as Monuments historiques since 26 February 2001. Private property.
