The Château du Sart is a château in the Sart-Babylone quarter of Villeneuve d'Ascq, the Nord department of France.
History
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0f/Jielbeaumadier_golf_du_sart_vda_2010.jpg/220px-Jielbeaumadier_golf_du_sart_vda_2010.jpg)
The château was built in 1740. It was rarely occupied by its owners, the Seigneurs of Fourmestraux.
The park was transformed into an 18-hole golf course, and nowadays, the château has become the course club house.
Collections
[edit]The château had the rich Van Der Cruisse de Waziers library, which was destroyed by the Germans during the First World War.[1]
In the farmyard of the old farm, near the château, is a pigeon house which was designed following the model of Diderot et d’Alembert in their Encyclopédie.[2]
