This distinguished residence, designed by the architect Antoine-Charles Aubert, who is also known for the Palais Bourbon in Paris, was commissioned by Pierre Fanneau de la Horie, a prominent engineer responsible for the development of the ports along the Picardy coastline.

The mansion's architecture exemplifies the neo-classical style, characterized by its elegant proportions and symmetry. Upon entering the property, one is greeted by a large, round lawn bordered by meticulously pruned yew trees, with a circular drive facilitating access to the front of the mansion.
