Graveron Castle was built in 1688. Its construction was interrupted at the death of the sponsor, Philippe Bigot de la Turgère (only the left wing and its forebody are built). At the dawn of the Revolution, it was bought by the Féray family, Protestant merchants of Le Havre, ancestors of the current owners. During the Revolution, one of the two symmetrical pigeon houses of the court was destroyed. The castle was occupied by Prussian and German troops during the successive wars of 1870, 1914-1918 and 1939-1945.
Initially, the castle park was designed with French-style flowerbeds and groves. From that time there remains a network of avenues that encompasses the village. Redesigned in the 19th century in English style, it has many tree species including an imposing cedar. There is also a 17th century cooler. The members of the Féray family cannot be buried in the village cemetery because of their religion, they are buried in the park.
In 1996, the façade of the castle, the dovecote and the grille d'honneur were added to the additional inventory of the Historical Monuments.
Open on the occasion of Heritage Days, the park will be the subject of guided tours throughout the two days. There will also be an exhibition of painting in the dovecote and an exhibition of photographs on easels in the park.
