Culture and sights
The Drée Castle was built in the 17th century. In 1837 the Comtesse Tournon-Simiane acquired the castle. Her descendants, the Princes of Croÿ owned the castle until 1993. In 1959, parts of the castle complex were entered in the additional directory of the Monuments historiques ('historical monuments'), which concerns the facades and the roof of the castle, the outbuildings and the two octagonal pavilions that stand at the entrance to the park. The castle is now owned by an association that takes care of the restoration and organizes guided tours. The castle and its park can be visited during the summer months.
