The château-fort and its six towers, remains of the 12th-15th century walls, overlook a rare sunken kitchen garden (listed as a World Heritage site), created in the 16th century, and a landscaped garden at the foot of lava flows. The outbuildings (listed building) house the silver mining museum.

Description

The garden ticket price includes a free tour of the kitchen garden described by Montaigne, the landscaped gardens and the Chevalier tower, which gives you an overview of the estate. You can also walk around the battlements that mark the boundaries of the park and woodland, and visit the outbuildings with their tack room, stables and horse-drawn carriages.
The price of the château-garden ticket includes a guided tour of the château and garden, and contributes to the upkeep of the monument by funding major works.
The château will be listed by the Fondation du Patrimoine in September 2023 (Mission Bern).
