The architectural diversity

The castle of Avrilly includes several buildings: the castle, the porch from the 17th century, the orangery, the dependences and the entry pavilions from the 19th century .

The 15th century frontage is the oldest one. Facing the landscaped park, the frontage is typical from the medieval architecture: fortified with watch towers, buttresses and drawbridge .

The pavilion-porch was built in the 17th century by Francois Garnier, adviser of king Louis XIII. His armorial bearings and monogram can still be seen on the frontage.

Porch-Pavilion from the 17th century

The most recent frontage, visible from the road, was built in the 19th and 20th centuries. It's part of the huge transformation of the estate at this time. A park was also created with several ornamental lakes and moats surrounding the castle. Entry pavilions, dependences and railings were also added.
