Castle-museum with four typical towers and rooms to visit, offering exhibitions, musical and theatrical animations
The château is said to have been founded in the mid-12th century by Gauthier I de Villebéon, grand chamberlain to kings Louis VII and Philippe Auguste. One of the few remaining castles in the Île-de-France region, it is a magnificent structure. Restored in the 17th century by Philippe d'Orléans, a man of taste and a collector of paintings, it has changed little, if at all, since then. Since 1903, it has housed a fine arts museum with some 20,000 works: sculptures, paintings, graphic arts and photographs emblematic of the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
