Outbuildings
The Château de Lasfonds estate covers 6.5 hectares. In addition to the main castle, there is a garden and three outbuildings on the property. These buildings were once farm structures but have since been updated. Now, they offer extra space for activities and more rooms for our guests.
You’ll also find a big, heated pool near these buildings, which provides a great view of the castle.
The Garden
The area around the Château de Lasfonds has a lot to offer for those who enjoy the outdoors. You’ll find a well-kept garden with a variety of flowers, century-old fruit trees, a quiet forest and a spacious lawn for outdoor activities.
There are plenty of benches and seating areas throughout the grounds, perfect for walking or just taking a break to unwind. The estate is also home to local wildlife, such as deer, hares, bats, owls, foxes, and the groundskeeper’s dog may stop by, too.
The Château is set on raised ground, offering impressive views of the nearby countryside.
At night, the lack of city lights means you can enjoy excellent stargazing across the property, with the stars appearing especially clear and vivid.
The Pool
The large heated pool, open for 6 months of the year, is equipped with a child safety alarm as well as a cleaning system. Around the pool, you’ll find eight comfortable lounging chairs with umbrellas, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sun.
Games Room And Fitness Retreat
The Southern outbuilding houses the Games Room, a large 100m² space where guests can enjoy a variety of activities. It includes a gym area stocked with free weights, a Roman chair, an exercise bench, a rowing machine and yoga mats. Additionally, there’s plenty of fun to be had with a billiard table, table tennis, a professional-grade foosball table and darts.
The room provides the convenience of a fully-equipped kitchen located in the adjacent building, complete with a fridge, freezer, oven, stove, and all the necessary cooking essentials, perfect for preparing and serving snacks and beverages outdoors.
In keeping with the building’s heritage, we’ve preserved some of the original features like the animal feed and water trays to maintain the rustic charm of the area.
Outdoor Dining
The estate features a covered dining area ideal for large gatherings, with a main table that seats 14 guests and additional bar seating crafted from a repurposed wine barrel.
Guests can choose between a gas or charcoal BBQ for cooking. Adjacent to the BBQ area is an outdoor kitchen equipped with a fridge, freezer, oven, stove, and other outdoor cooking essentials.
This space includes a tabletop area suitable for food preparation or grilling. For more extensive cooking needs, a fully equipped kitchen is available in the building next door.
If you need more room, the dining table can be moved to transform the area into a social or party venue.
Lodging Cottages
Within the Western and Southern outbuildings are 5 additional accommodation spaces.
The Southern outbuilding is a two-story, 130m² guesthouse with two bedrooms. Each bedroom is 16m² and comes with its own bathroom. The guesthouse includes a kitchen with a dining area, a laundry room and a living room. There's also a private terrace, which is bordered by roses and lavender in the summer, providing a nice spot to relax.
This unique two-story room features a tall ceiling and is named after the striking window that once graced a small chapel in the Château during the 1800s. On the ground floor, there's a living space with a sofa, a small kitchen area, an original oven, and a bathroom with a shower.
Upstairs, you'll find a sleeping platform with a queen-sized bed. The room also has its own side entrance that opens to a private seating area in the garden.
The Western outbuilding contains two guest suites, both approximately 45m². They feature original stone walls and wooden beams, and each suite has its own bathroom and a private garden area, giving them the comfortable and quaint atmosphere of small village homes.

Northern Outbuilding
The Northern outbuilding is not primarily used for guest accommodations at the moment. It includes a garage, the groundskeeper’s living quarters, and the Baker’s Den.
The Baker’s Den has historical significance, with a ground floor that preserves the original stone bread oven from the Château’s early days.
Although it’s only been minimally updated, the Baker’s Den is set up with tables, a TV, and board games, making it an informal hangout spot that’s particularly appealing to younger visitors.
Plans are in place to renovate the Balcony Cottage and transform it into a SPA area with Sauna.
