Château de Clémery
An orangery, a kitchen garden and boxwood geometry within a Lorraine château park.
From the source
Château de Clémery is a château at Clémery, Meurthe-et-Moselle, in the Grand Est region of France. The recorded building campaigns date from the 15th and 19th centuries. It is protected as a monument historique at the second level (inscrit). Details are drawn from the Base Mérimée of the French Ministry of Culture.
Editorial reading
The departmental tourism board describes a large park around Château de Clémery, with open views towards the countryside. Beside the kitchen garden, the former orangery forms the background to a boxwood design recalling a labyrinth. The relationship between planted geometry and a building once used for overwintering plants is a documented feature of the grounds. The château itself has medieval origins and later alterations, but those building dates do not establish the age of the present planting.
Recommendation
Look at the orangery as part of a designed view, rather than only as a separate building. Its relationship with the boxwood and kitchen garden is the distinctive garden feature here. The tourism board distinguishes views from the public road from visits to the grounds; contact the estate before planning entry.
