A castle where nature is queen


French-style gardens and forest park


Built in the 17th century, the Château de Dampierre-en-Yvelines, made of sandstone and bricks, is a perfect example of classical French architecture.
It is hard to resist the beauty of its elegant façade, typical of the period, and its vast park that extends over nearly 400 hectares, to be discovered on foot, or aboard a horse-drawn carriage.
The 90 hectares of historic gardens were designed by Le Nôtre. You will stroll along perfectly aligned paths, and will be able to admire the floral park of the Estate as you go.
Head into the forest park, where you may come across fallow deer, stags or wild boars...


In the footsteps of kings


From the time when it welcomed monarchs, dukes and archbishops, the Estate of Dampierre-en-Yvelines has retained its splendor.
Walk through the lounges and dining rooms designed by the architect of the Palace of Versailles Jules Hardouin-Mansart and discover the antechambers, bedrooms with their 12th century decor.
The castle was redeveloped in the 19th century by artists who left their mark, such as Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres...
Also take a tour of the carriage museum and the collection of carriages from the Luynes family (the first owners of the castle) that rival each other in elegance!
Take your time to visit this exceptional estate by booking one of the 55 rooms at our Best Western Amarys hotel.
