Editorial reading
The record dates the enlargement of the house with a west wing and the building of a chapel in the park to 1776, two pavilions completing the wings to 1780, and the outbuildings and the two gates closing the court to 1820. It then lists what completes the ensemble: a dovecote with its revolving ladder and 1,500 boulins, a walled kitchen garden with pavilions serving as gardener’s lodging and store, a fountain and its wash-house, and the chapel. The 2007 listing covers all the buildings — house, outbuildings, dovecote, chapel, fountain, wash-house, basin, kitchen-garden walls, keepers’ buildings — and the park.
