Castle of Vendôme
Town of Vendôme
Castle in the 17th and park in the 19th century
In the 17th century, Duke Cesar of Vendôme, illegitimate son of Gabrielle d'Estrée and Henri IV, divided his time between Paris and his castles of Anet and Vendôme where he built an extra manor house, a gateway to the South and built an access ramp to open the castle to the outside.
Abandoned by
his heirs in the 18th century, the castle was attached to the crown in
1712 but did not get any more attention. In 1791, the ruin of the castle
is confirmed by its sale to various owners.
The majestic cedar, planted in 1807, testifies to its renewal as a recreational park.
