Taillis Castle
Duclair In the shade of the Trait-Maulévrier forest, the Château du Taillis was built at the beginning of the 16th century on the foundations of a 13th-century fortified house, of which a superb vaulted cellar still remains. Four 18th-century salons, arranged in a suite, include a theater, a Chinese salon, and the crystal and porcelain salon. The central section of the château, in the style of <strong>the Italian Second Renaissance</strong> , is the only example in Seine-Maritime of this very distinctive architecture; it is <strong>decorated with Doric pilasters on the ground floor and Ionic pilasters on the first floor.</strong> Within its 16th-century walls, the park shelters <strong>three-hundred-year-old trees</strong> (giant sequoia, araucaria, tulip tree, Atlas cedar, purple beech, etc.) as well as remarkable outbuildings (stables, barn, greenhouse, etc.) and notably an orangery whose architectural style is that of a Greco-Roman temple.
