Parc du Château de Longpra
Designed in the XNUMXth century but remained unfinished, the French-style park leads to the main courtyard of the castle with a star-shaped layout and an octagonal central basin. To the north, a plantation of bicentennial lime and chestnut trees is listed as a Historic Monument.
The most original achievement was to have restored the water in the moat thus making the house and its garden island. The layout of the regular gardens in front of the Castle is still found today in the current lawn of the south terrace. All around, the liquid mass of the moat where the Castle is reflected and further on the gracious grove of trees, the hills, the meadows and the crops that surround the park.
Parking for 2 coaches.
There are 3 toilets on site, one of which is accessible to people with reduced mobility.
Access to the moat is unsupervised.
Take advantage of your visit to visit the castle and its woodworking tool museum (access to the park is free and included in the ticket for visiting the castle).
Wedding photos can be taken in the park with a small group. Photos can be taken in the morning or afternoon, except during peak season when photos must be taken before 13:30 pm. Hourly rate: €50
