14th century castle, summer residence of the bishops of Vabres-l'Abbaye, inner courtyard and wine press room for weddings

A vast, massive, rectangular building built of red sandstone in the 14th century, the castle was much more austere in the Middle Ages. In the 17th century, its appearance and geographical position made it the summer residence of the bishops of Vabres-l'Abbaye. The visit begins with the inner courtyard and the press room, both of which are used for weddings and receptions. You will then discover the rooms that have been fitted out: a classroom, an old-fashioned kitchen, and then, in what is the Bishops' room, a superb Louis XIII French ceiling.

Outside, very austere, does not look mine. Normal, it was the residence of bishops! The interior is very refined with many rooms (what to get lost with delight!), frescoes, the exhibition of tools, carts, various objects and paintings, a kitchen, a former classroom, artistic exhibitions and since June 2010, a rare exhibition on the traditional archery designed by a couple of old " factors of arcs" (manufacturers) professional. The only other museum L'archerie is in the Oise region in Crépy-en-Valois, making this exceptional castle, grinds patterns, could be better - known.
