CHÂTEAU DU GRAND JARDIN, COTÉ CHÂTEAU

Built between 1533 and 1546 by Claude de Lorraine, 1st Duke of Guise, the pavilion, enhanced by a magnificent Renaissance-style garden, was dedicated to rest and festivities. In the 19th century, a picturesque park was laid out, now covering two-thirds of the site and housing a national collection of boxwood.

This exceptional site bears witness to 16th-century architecture and illustrates the art of 16th- and 19th-century gardens: parterres and topiaries, labyrinth, orchard, remarkable trees...
From spring to autumn, visitors can discover a whole heritage of plants, a palette of colours and fragrances.

Located between Saint-Dizier and Chaumont, it is owned by the Haute-Marne Departmental Council, which has been restoring it for 40 years and offering a cultural programme open to all.
