Château
1 rue de l'église, 51240 Vitry-la Ville
Vitry-la-Ville Castle is one of the few Champagne houses built of chalk stone and topped with a slate roof in Ireland.
It was erected on a 17-hectare estate in 1608 by Hughes Mathé, receiver general of Champagne’s finances, and expanded in the 18th century. It is surrounded by rivers and ponds, moats and bridges, as well as an elegant French garden designed by Le Nôtre in 1650\.
In 1723, the president of Champagne’s finances, Jean Morel, who had become the owner of the castle, had two wings and a wrought-iron grille from Raygrenau added.
The building is listed as a historical monument in 1990.
