Château de Condé

To make a day of it

Château de Condé stands in Condé-en-Brie (Aisne), in the Hauts-de-France region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 12th century, 16th century, 18th century). Adult admission costs 13 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In the Aisne department, along the Champagne route, the château de Condé still bears traces of its medieval origins behind a facade remodeled in the 18th century by architect Servandoni. Still a private residence, the house passed through the Coucy, Bourbon-Condé and Savoy families before being acquired by the marquis de La Faye, who commissioned interior decorations from Watteau, Oudry and Boucher. Visitors today can see the wing with its painted frescoes, the room known as Richelieu's chamber, and several period salons.
