Château de la Tour

The oldest part is a large keep, attributed to the Knights Templar, to which a dwelling was added in the 16th century, then a small Directoire château at the end of the 18th century. A century later, the architect Revoil enlarged the château and modified some of the older parts. He also partially altered the layout of the park designed by Meunier.
The landscaped park: according to a 1795 plan, a food garden and orchards were organized around a double avenue of plane trees, transverse paths and a noria to the west.
In 1796, the Parisian architect Meunier, who designed the neo-classical château, proposed a number of modifications and added a grove of plane trees opposite the new gate, which can still be admired today.
The rows of plane trees form a large central axis and give a spectacular character to the ensemble, which has been transformed into a landscaped park, rich in beautiful tree species and a labyrinth of topiary-trimmed boxwood. A 13th-century keep dominates the park, towering over the agricultural plain.
