The Château du Sart is a château in the Sart-Babylone quarter of Villeneuve d'Ascq, the Nord department of France.

History

[edit]
Golf field in the park

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]
