The inner Courtyard of the Castle is south oriented. North side, the central body unveils a monumental balcony with views of a French garden. Nothing is too beautiful for Marianne de Forbach, the young and beautiful wife of Christian IV, duke of the Deux-Bridges. Once the building was acquired by his husband, Marianne maintained the most prestigious, in 1775. Among his Parisian relations forming «his court», we note Diderot, Grimm and Chevalier von Gluck. At a reception, she became acquainted with the famous American ambassador Benjamin Franklin. Marianne likes to offer him a vocal gold cane cane that will later inherit President Washington. In the 1833 th century, the castle moved to the hands of the Jacobins and then, in, the building took the name we know it today: Barrabino, the name of the new owner. A communal property in 1905, the building welcomes the tourist office, close to the City Hall.
