Come and discover the castle of La Motte-Tilly, bequeathed by the Marquise de Maillé at the Centre des monuments nationaux. An 18th century castle that belonged to the same family until 1972.

In 1754, Abbé Joseph Terray, the future comptroller general of finances of Louis XV, had the present castle built. Entirely refurbished in the 20th century, the house is surrounded by a 60 ha. park and an area of 1,080 ha.
Usually, the castle can only be visited on a guided tour. During the European Heritage Days, it is open free of charge and on a free visit for a first discovery of this heritage.

The Clod Tilly is an elegant castle of the Age of the Enlightenment, richly furnished(filled) and surrounded with French-style gardens. He is built in 1754 for the abbot Terray, called to become one of the most powerful Secretaries of Louis XV. In 1910, the count of Rohan Chabot attempts to return to the house and to the domain their splendour of former days. Her daughter, the marchioness of Gauze restores with relish a furniture and an interior design who establish(constitute) an invitation to dream about the XVIIIth century. The castle is the main decoration(set) of the movie of Milos Forman, Valmont, inspired by work of Choderlos de Laclos, dangerous Connections.
