The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Edifice cantonné de quatre tours circulaires. A la façade postérieure est accolé le bâtiment contenant le grand escalier. C'est une construction en briques dont les murs sont couronnés de créneaux. La façade principale se développe sur le parc, et l'accès se fait par un perron à double rampe. Un chemin de ronde, porté par de faux mâchicoulis formés d'encorbellement de briques et petites arcatures, ceinture l'ensemble de la construction.

History
Building flanked by four circular towers. At the rear façade is attached the building containing the grand staircase. It is a brick construction whose walls are crowned with crenellations. The main façade opens onto the park, and access is by a flight of steps with double ramp. A crenellated parapet, borne by false machicolations formed of corbelled brick and small arcatures, encircles the whole of the construction.
