About Château de Flers
The Château de Flers combines a 16th-century Renaissance wing with an 18th-century classical facade, now housing the municipal museum with free admission. The museum displays approximately 300 paintings from Italian, French, and Dutch schools, including works by Caillebotte, Courbet, and Boudin. It holds the world's largest public collection of Jean-Victor Schnetz (10 paintings and 60 drawings), whose brother once owned the château.

Nicolas III de Grosparmy, who built the oldest wing between 1527-1541, was known as an alchemist. Local legend claims he funded construction through alchemy, but historical records show he actually owned profitable iron forges at Halouze. The wing's distinctive bell-shaped roofs crowned with lanterns remain from this original construction.
