built by sainctot around 1650, it was admiral louis-antoine de bougainville bellanger and his architect who remodeled and gave the chateau de suisnes it's current silhouette in 1799. the park was designed by christophe cochet who's family eventually become rose growers and make their town grisny-suisnes (back then called village of roses) the rose growing capital and biggest provider for the region of paris. in the late 18th century the french architecture of the park was transformed into an english style and occupied by jacques de noirmont, one of the former owners of the chateau. in 1899 most of the park got destroyed leaving only one little pavilion until the 1930s when bougainville's offsprings turned the 17 hectares into the current romanticism style. in 2000 a bankruptcy caused the abandonment of the area causing looting and vandalization of the castle. bought by a private investor in 2006, the site is now being gradually restored and possibly being used as a fantastic photo location as we did for swarovski in july. every room in this castle looks different now and is certainly a fantastic place to spend a day, but see for yourself.
