The Maison de Maître de la Croix-Blanche was built in the 18th century; only its volume was preserved during its renovation and decoration for lawyer Lucien Salmont, on the advice of the painter Adolphe Willette, between 1895 and 1914\. The works carried out are the addition of two exterior galleries and pavilions, a new staircase, new fireplaces, a painted and sculpted decoration, arrangements of similar style for the caretaker’s house, finally, the landscaping of the park by Eugène Touret, landscape architect, in 1910; the fireplace in the caretaker’s house dates from the 17th century; the barn and stables (19th century).
