Description :

This dwelling place was visited by royal guests such as
Louis XIV, Stanislas Leszczynski, Maria Christina of Austria and H.I.H. Naru Hito.
It is adorned in a refined and cosmopolitan manner, while
history has left its trace when the treaty of Freÿr was signed (1675) and coffee drunk for the first time in the country.
# Furthemore, one can discover :

the eating room centered on an impressive Renaissance mantelpiece,

an enchanting children coach (18th)
that won the first price at the World Exhibition in Paris (1889),

two halls, one of which recalls an Italian Palace with hunting scenes by Snyders and frescos on the ceiling,

some classical lounges and a Rococo chapel full of peace and joy,
