Château de Cormatin is a magnificent water castle from the early 17th century. The castle was built between 1606 and 1625 by the Marquises d'Huxelles. It houses the best-preserved state rooms from the Louis XIII era in all of France. Famous are the "Golden Rooms" (Salles Dorées) with opulent paintings, sculptures, and gilded ceilings.
The extensive, approximately 12-hectare grounds are among the most beautiful gardens in France. Highlights in the outdoor area include a large boxwood maze, an open-air baroque theatre, water features, and a historic vegetable garden.
