Château d'Ormesson

To make a day of it

Château d'Ormesson stands in Ormesson-sur-Marne (Val-de-Marne), in the Île-de-France region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, third quarter of the 18th century). Adult admission costs 10 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Built at the end of the 16th century in brick and dressed stone, the Château d'Ormesson has belonged to the same family since 1630, from whom it takes its current name. Its corner pavilions display distinctive projecting vaults known as trompes, a notable architectural feature. The park took its present layout in the 18th century, after the estate was raised to a marquisate, and is centred on a pool fed by the Morbras stream and a long lawn aligned with the main building. The estate also retains a set of outbuildings, including a quadrangular farm whose location dates back to the 16th century.
