The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Ce château illustre parfaitement l'essor architectural que connut la Sologne dans la seconde moitié du 19e siècle, après son désenclavement et le plan de régénération voulus par Napoléon III. Conçu par les architectes parisiens Clément et Louis Parent pour une famille de l'aristocratie orléanaise. Il fut édifié de 1875 à 1882 et servait de rendez-vous de chasse à courre. Sa destination mondaine est particulièrement marquée par l'importance des espaces de réception. Le style architectural s'inspire de la Renaissance du Val de Loire.

History
This castle perfectly illustrates the architectural development that Sologne experienced in the second half of the 19th century, after its opening up and the plan for regeneration desired by Napoleon III. Conceived by the Parisian architects Clément and Louis Parent for a family of the Orléanais aristocracy. It was built from 1875 to 1882 and served as a meeting place for hunting. Its fashionable destination is particularly marked by the importance of reception spaces. The architectural style is inspired by the Renaissance of the Loire Valley.
