Coye-la-Forêt castle stands on a site developed in the 17th century by Toussaint Roze, secretary to Louis XIV's cabinet, who created water features and hydraulic systems there. Prince of Condé had the main building reconstructed between 1760 and 1770 in the neo-classical style. The 18th-century wood panelling in the petit and grand salons survives inside. Its park preserves remnants of these earlier works, including water-filled moats and a metal bridge.

What to know

The castle represents two periods: the park's hydraulic systems date from the 17th century, while the main building was reconstructed in the 18th century in neo-classical style.
Around 1770, an indigo workshop opened in the outbuildings, using energy from the nearby river and marking the start of industrial activity in the village.
The outbuildings were rebuilt after a fire in 1829 and converted into residential spaces in the 20th century.
Historic monument protection covers the castle, its park with water-filled moats, Pinel's metal bridge, two entrance pavilions and the adjoining farm.
