Domaine Saint-Victor

Présentation

Enjoy this magnificent estate to discover a rich flora and fauna. Between the arboretum, medieval garden, and deer watching, you’ll get your fill of nature. Just a few minutes from Soulaines-Dhuys, get out into the countryside! A landscaped trail connects the village and the estate to enjoy the fresh air! As early as 1117, Montiéramey Abbey owned the Renfroissard Priory of the Order of Saint Benoit and took the name Saint Victor in honor of the Hermit Saint whose cult was spread by the Benedictines from the 13th century. The religious establishment of Renfroissard disappeared during the Revolution of 1789. After the revolution, the estate was bought by a bourgeois. A large bourgeois house was built there and the park was landscaped: greenhouse, arboretum, deer park, English river… Of the estate existing in the 19th century, including the main building in cut stone, there remains only the caretaker’s house located on the edge of the road and a little further that of the manager, the stables and a few buildings used as a barn and hayloft (rural building where hay is stored). The main house was dismantled in the 1970s-1980s and rebuilt stone by stone in Belgium. The henhouse, on its walls, has an imitation of branches. In the park where the deer live, one can admire a wide variety of two-hundred-year-old trees. Several dozen people lived on the estate, including many servants. It was also a place for the Soulainois to take Sunday walks.
