During the French Revolution, the buildings of the medieval convent were seized and sold. Subsequently, the entire property was transformed into a private estate consisting of a large family residence, a caretaker's house, outbuildings, a dovecote, and a stable with three boxes.
Nevertheless, one element has stood the test of time: the grandeur of the park, filled with tall, centuries-old trees, offering panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Within the park, near the property's edge, stands a recently restored 18th-century, octagonal chapel. Made of stone and brick and topped with a lantern turret on its slate-covered roof, it harmoniously complements the architectural style of the residence.

The residence

Built on the foundations of the convent, the main structure dates back to the 17th century but was renovated in the 19th century. The rectangular building, with its main facade facing east, is entirely made of brick and spans two levels above the ground floor. It forms a wide and imposing dwelling with over ten windows on its main facade. In line with the dimensions of the windows, the main entrance door is made of wood and topped with a glass transom. The colors of the old bricks range from dark red to orange with golden reflections. During the renovation of the building, the focus was placed on the elegance of simplicity. To that end, there are no decorative elements or embellishments on the facades, except for two continuous cornices above the ground floor and under the upper floor. The cornerstones are reminiscent of the window frames, also made of stone. The facade facing the park is identical to the facade facing the courtyard, apart from four large arched windows with French doors that distinguish it. The hip roof is covered with natural slate. Everything has been restored recently, following the rules of the trade: the bricks have been re-pointed, the slate roof has been redone, and the windows with white frames shine brightly.

The ground floor
Behind the door, an entrance hall with while walls, half-height wainscoting and tall ceilings leads to a winding marble staircase from around the 1950s. Its wide base and impressive flight of steps give an imposing sense of elevation. Its balustrade, adorned with wide volutes and a polished wooden handrail, begins with a beveled glass sphere. The vibrant green and brown colors of the cement tile floor add a lively touch to the entire vestibule, which branches off to a large gallery and a kitchen on one side, and a small living room on the other, illuminated by seven windows offering three different exposures and complete with a fireplace.
On the opposite side, the gallery, formerly a monks' ambulatory, impresses with its size and views of the park. Before World War II, it was open to the outside. Today, large French doors flood the space with natural light while preventing drafts. Surprisingly, the interior wall is made of large stones, while the exterior facade is covered in brick. The second wall of the gallery is painted in a creamy color with a solid wood wainscoting at half-height. The floor is covered with colorful cement tiles. At the far end, a door opens to a storage room and a garage. The gallery also leads to a lounge and a dining room. These two reception rooms, with straight parquet floors, stand out with a contemporary-style fireplace made of brick and stone in the lounge, and an antique stove niche in the dining room. Finally, a hallway leads to the kitchen featuring wooden cabinets and equipped with modern appliances.
The first floor
At the top of the staircase, a landing with a central hallway leads to six bedrooms, each ranging in size from approximately 20 to 30m². Each bedroom features a straight parquet floor and enjoys ample light with at least two windows per room. An office, four bathrooms or shower rooms, and a laundry room complete this section of the level. At the far end of the building, a spacious reception hall of about 90m² features straight parquet floors and tall ceilings, reaching up to 5 meters, with impressive rafters. It is an ideal space for hosting numerous guests without encroaching on the private quarters thanks to a separate entrance and staircase. The reception area is equipped with restrooms, a small kitchen and a mezzanine of approximately 30m² providing space for an orchestra.
The attic
The last level remains to be refurbished. Currently used as an attic, its wooden flooring and quality insulation give it the potential to be transformed into an additional living space.
The basement
Located beneath the main building, these spaces have vaulted ceilings and are entirely made of brick. A hallway leads to three separate areas: a boiler room, a pantry, and a wine cellar.
