The Petit Parc, Grand Parc and statuary of Dampierre
The seventeenth-century domain of Dampierre-en-Yvelines was classified in its entirety in 2022: château and dependencies, the Petit Parc, the horse-pond, the Grand Parc and the park of Becquencourt, with the enclosure wall and all the statuary.
From the source
Château et domaine de Dampierre is a château at Dampierre-en-Yvelines, Yvelines, in the Île-de-France region of France. The recorded building campaign dates from the 17th century. It is protected as a monument historique at the higher of the two levels (classé). Details are drawn from the Base Mérimée of the French Ministry of Culture.
Editorial reading
The record contains no narrative; its single protection is comprehensive. The classification of February 2022 covers the built and unbuilt parts of the domain in full — the château with its dependencies, the Petit Parc, the abreuvoir and the parcel adjoining it to the north, the Grand Parc and the parc de Becquencourt, the enclosure wall and the whole of the statuary — across parcels in Dampierre-en-Yvelines and Saint-Forget, with only the gatehouse, dovecote, park farm and gate pavilions limited to façades and roofs. The tulip plantings photographed here belong to the gardens within that classified domain.
Recommendation
A classification that names two parks, a horse-pond and every statue is telling you where to look: the whole ground is the monument.
