The Château des Bordes in Pontlevoy takes its current form from extensive renovations initiated in 1763, when a new owner engaged the renowned architect Louis-Denis Le Camus.

The 19th century saw the addition of a grand staircase and connecting gallery, along with interior decoration in the neo-Rocaille style.
