The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Ce château de style néo Louis XIII fut construit en 1862-1863 par Arthur Froelicher pour le compte d'Henri de Chasseval. L'édifice est la copie en brique et pierre d'un château édifié par son père, Joseph-Antoine Froelicher, à Kernevez, dans le Finistère. Un avant-corps polygonal est surmonté d'un clocheton très élevé. Les décors intérieurs subsistent au rez-de-chaussée. Les communs forment l'accompagnement architectural du château. Autour d'une cour couverte sont distribuées les écuries, la sellerie et les remises à voiture. Le châteaul servit de résidence au Général Weygand. C'est là que se tint le Conseil suprême franco-anglais des 11 et 12 juin 1940 qui demanda l'armistice.

History
This château of neo-Louis XIII style was built in 1862-1863 by Arthur Froelicher for the account of Henri de Chasseval. The building is a copy in brick and stone of a castle built by his father, Joseph-Antoine Froelicher, at Kernevez, in the Finistère. A polygonal advanced section is surmounted by a very high bell turret. The interior decorations survive on the ground floor. The outbuildings form the architectural accompaniment of the château. Around a covered courtyard are distributed the stables, the saddle room and the carriage houses. The château served as residence to General Weygand. It was there that the Franco-British supreme council meeting was held on 11 and 12 June 1940 which called for the armistice.
