Very dilapidated monument, closed to the public. A heritage that is not highlighted and its occupant the BNF obviously does not take care of it. It's deplorable...

Very pretty park around the castle with very old trees. You can observe garden creepers, tits and squirrels.

Very difficult to keep such a building in good condition! Very nice house (exterior views only) but needs a severe renovation.

Very beautiful castle located between a park and along the Sarthe. Very pleasant also while walking along the river

The first written record of church in Danmark locality date back to the year 1291. Close to the church are several stones with a Christian text and cross inscribed. The oldest parts of the present red-brick church are from the 1300s. In the late 1400s the church was enlarged to the appearance it has today. The church has been modified both internally and externally several times, among other things after the fires in 1699 and 1889. There are lot of well-preserved mural paintings in the walls.
