Built in the 19th century, this former agricultural estate includes a park and spaces to cultivate, an orangery, a greenhouse, and remarkable farm buildings. At the time, this way of thinking about the organization of farms was new and is linked to the major industrial rationalization movements observed from the mid-19th century onwards. It was about simultaneously considering aspects related to animal hygiene and comfort, as well as the aesthetics of the buildings.
