It was constantly enlarged and restored by its lineages of occupants: the Orgemonts, the Montmorencies, the Condés and above all the Duc d'Aumale, who endowed it with priceless collections of works of art, such as Nicolas Poussin's The Massacre of the Innocents.

A visit to the large princely apartments and the private apartments of the Duke and Duchess of Aumale is a delight.
