Château de Saint-Just

In 1654 the last descendants of the Croixmare family sold the house to Jean de Savary, the Secretary to the King of France and the Master of the Waters and Forests of Normandy.

The house was nationalized during the French Revolution and then sold to Sébastien-Gilles Huet de Guerville.

He built a tomb for his wife in the park, using architectural elements of the mausoleum of Lancelot de la Garenne (1595), coming from the church of the village of Mercey, Eure.

Louis Gabriel Suchet, who was one of Napoleon Bonaparte's most famous marshals, celebrated for his victories in Spain.

He redecorated and refurnished the house in the French Empire style, and had the park redesigned by the landscape architect Belguise.

The park is connected to the Seine River by an avenue more than a kilometre long lined by two rows of London plane trees.

Three channels of water flow from springs downhill into a large pond, which reflects the façade of the chateau.
