About the location

Parc du Château

Hôtel de Ville, Le Château, 37110 Château-Renault

Indre-et-Loire

Centre-Val de Loire

The park is divided into three parts(parties): a big(great) environmental court(yard), the old(former) gardens and the new rose garden, and a sported park. The set(group) is included in the field of the old(former) castle of Castle-Renault (XIIth, XIVth, XVIIth, XVIIIth century). The old(former) gardens are the most old(former) elements (attested at least from the XVIth century).
The big(great) gardens and the new rose garden They are done up inside the surrounding wall(speaker), in the northeast angle of the rampart. An expertise of 1795 evokes: " (…) a big(great) garden training(forming) several quarrés around whom(which) there are several trees in espalliers and at noon(south) of this big(great) garden is an orchard in the shape of terrace, then of which orchard and at noon(south) of said ship above, is a big(great) large court(yard) in which are four rows(ranks) of lindens (…)». Their creation goes back up(raises) most probably to previous(former) time(period), undoubtedly at the time when the castle becomes purely residential in the course of the XVIth and XVIIth centuries, without ruling out(moving away) the hypothesis of one or several gardens done up from the Middle Ages. Today the big(great) gardens are partly crashed in kitchen gardens, and toponymy keeps(preserves) the location of the outside(terrace) orchard located down below, and which receives since 2017 the new rose garden!
The wooded park or «park of Madness» The wooded park is located outside the surrounding wall(speaker). It was crashed on lands of plowings in the turning point(bend) of the XVIIIth and XIXth centuries, in the place - thought Madness. The connection with the castle is made by a monumental portal(gate) drilled in the old(former) wall of surrounding wall(speaker). The count Louis Barrairon does up by 1800 an English garden, except the surrounding wall(speaker), in the oriental(eastern) end of the park. Throughout the XIXth century and in the first half of the XXth century, the north park is structured left framed(supervised) by a ramification of tortuous paths, the very crashing of rare trees for time(period), from which several remain(subsist) even today.
The esplanade The big(great) adjacent court(yard), old(former) poultry-yard medieval and qualified as "big(" great) green court(yard) " in 1795, it keeps(preserves) its role of e-mail crashed in lindens, in spite of the reduction in two rows(ranks), axis of plant connection between the strengthened door and the flight of steps of honour of the castle. Both cedars of the Atlas crashed in the South of the big(great) court(yard) are the monumental witnesses(batons) of this period.
