The main Château building is built from stone, brick and slate. The original materials were taken from the Citadel of Rue after it was destroyed in 1668. The paintings and murals which decorate most of the rooms are painted in the style of Horace Vernet, a French artist whose renown came from painting military battles. Throughout the building, there are many large paintings which have been listed by the French government as official historical monument since 1969. Also listed is the roof and exterior of the Château as well as the tree-lined driveway and the Louis XV bedroom.
