Château de Trie

The original castle of Trie, in the Oise, was built by the kings of France to fight the Normans. Around 1620 it was greatly enlarged by Duke Henri II de Longueville, who made it a pleasure residence. In the 18th century it consisted of a series of buildings comprising the old château (three medieval wings) and the new 17th-century château.

Of this vast castle, part of the old château survives, where Jean-Jacques Rousseau is said to have stayed, together with a Renaissance staircase. Turned into a townhouse, it belonged in the second half of the 19th century to Joseph-Arthur de Gobineau. It is now the town hall, and the park is open to visitors.
