Château de Castries

History

The estate has belonged to the House of Castries since 1465.[4] In 1565, Jacques de Castries undertook the building of a new château.[2] The garden was laid out by André Le Nôtre in 1666.[1][2] The aqueduct, to water the garden, was built by Pierre-Paul Riquet.[1][2][5][3]

The main house was looted and damaged during the French Revolution of 1789[4] and was restored in 1828.[4] In 1935, it was bought back by René de La Croix de Castries.[6] In 1985, he donated the house to the Académie française.[3] It is open to the public.[1][2]
