Château de Lasfonds

The Estate

The Château de Lasfonds estate covers 6.5 hectares. In addition to the main castle, there’s 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.

Tracing its history back to the Napoleonic era, the land the château sits on was inherited by
Jacques Luce Lucien Janet de Lasfonds in 1844.

He initiated the transformation of the quaint hamlet into a splendid château in 1856. By
1861, the château had become the primary residence for him and his family along with their dedicated household staff.

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,
fruit trees, and old 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 yet another highlight
of the estate. It is equipped with a child safety alarm and a cleaning system to

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 Baker’s Den and transform it into a SPA area with Sauna by the end of 2024.
