Description:
- Le plan principal montre le site d'un château ainsi que l'aménagement de son jardin. L'ensemble témoigne des époques successives: le bâtiment lui-même, constitué d'un corps de logis et de deux ailes, forme un carré flanqué d'une tourelle à chaque angle et est ceinturé par un fossé rempli d'eau, rappelant l'ancien château féodal. Une loggia typiquement renaissance borde le corps principal du côté de la cour intérieure. Le jardin quand à lui présente successivement des parterres en broderie qui nous ramènent au tournant du 17ème siècle, puis un bassin avec fontaine et des cabinets verts séparés au centre par un canal, éléments caractéristiques du jardin français classique du 17ème siècle. C'est dans cette dernière partie, entre le bassin avec fontaine et le canal séparant les cabinets verts, qu'une proposition de modification est présentée sous la forme d'un rabat abaissé sur le dessin principal. Datant du 18ème siècle, ce dessin propose l'aménagement d'un bassin avec cascade en forme de coquillage à la tête du canal. Finalement, une esquisse à l'encre rouge se superpose au dessin du rabat pour une deuxième modification du projet.
