The landscape park of Le Lude at Jouy-le-Potier
Set in a landscape park classified as a site since 1945 and entrusted to the landscape architect Georges Le Breton, the château of Le Lude at Jouy-le-Potier is reached through a quadrangular court of outbuildings planted as a garden, with its chapel and orangery.
From the source
Château du Lude is a château at Jouy-le-Potier, Loiret, in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The recorded building campaign dates from the 19th century. 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 record opens on the park: a fine landscaped setting, protected under the 1930 law since 1945, on a site inhabited since Gallo-Roman times beside the old road from Orléans to Limoges, opened to the public because a cult of Sainte-Corneille survives in a chapel in the park. The seigneurie is cited from 726; the keep and right wing were dismantled by Coligny’s troops in the Wars of Religion, and at the end of the nineteenth century the painter Maurice Bastide had the house restored in a marked historicist manner by the diocesan architect H. Rapine, while the park was given to Georges Le Breton. One reaches the château through vast outbuildings around a quadrangular court planted as a garden — lodgings, barns, chapel and orangery — to an L-shaped house on a masonry platform ringed by moats fed by the Cosson. The platform and the façades were listed in 2002.
Recommendation
The park came first here, and the record says so: it was classified as a site before the house was listed.
