This farm building dating back to the 16^th century has a particularly rich history. Today, this adventure is continued by the rehabilitation of the Theatre du Châtelard.  The farm, composed of dwelling places, barns, stables, ovens, gardens and orchards, became Voltaire’s property in 1759; the latter undertook improvements in order to house there the domestics of his nearby castle.
