Château et parc de Rentilly stands in Bussy-Saint-Martin (Seine-et-Marne), in the Île-de-France region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The château de Rentilly, in Bussy-Saint-Martin (Seine-et-Marne), shows an unexpected face: rebuilt after a fire in 1944 and then entirely re-clad in glass and stainless steel in the early 2010s, it no longer resembles any of its earlier forms dating back to the 16th century. The site is now devoted to contemporary art, set within a 50-hectare park planted with notable trees such as giant sequoias and ginkgo biloba. Visitors come as much for the contemporary architecture as for a walk through this historic English-style park.

Written from Château et parc culturel de Rentilly

What to know

The estate combines a 50-hectare historic park with a building entirely converted into a contemporary art centre.
The park has been a protected site since 1944, a distinct status from that of the château building itself.
The château's current glass-and-steel appearance comes from a contemporary rebuild rather than a period-accurate restoration.
The park suits long walks, with rare tree species to spot along the way.
