 In the 1770s, the dilapidated château was given by Louis XVI to his younger brother the Comte d'Artois with the sum of 600,000 livres for work to be done on it.Demolition and reconstruction projects were carried out by the architects Joseph Bélanger et François Chalgrin.When the Revolution came, the Château was declared "bien nationaux" and sold to its former manager, who demolished it, parceled out the land, and sold the materials.
