En un regard
Le château en bref
Château d'Étrepy stands at the heart of the village, in the Saulx valley, in the Marne department of France. Of the medieval fortress, only the moats survive, and they still surround the building. The oldest parts of the main residential block date from the early seventeenth century; in 1741, the house became a country retreat. The main body is distinguished by its rusticated bays, tall stone dormer windows and a central portico decorated with pilasters and grotesque masks; the great drawing room retains a decoration of plaster and stucco. A gateway with lions, curtain walls, a western staircase flanked by two sphinxes and an access bridge complete the ensemble. Shelled and then set on fire in September 1914, the château was restored between 1917 and 1923. Privately owned, it has been listed as a monument historique since 28 November 2011.
