Château d’Auvers
Auvers-sur-Oise, Val d’Oise (95) : le chateau et son parc en automne. La ville ou Van Gogh termina sa vie accueille en son chateau un musée sur l’impressionisme.
Visit the Château d’Auvers which was built in the 17th century, around 1635, by Zanobi Lioni, a rich Italian financier from the entourage of Marie de Medici. Surrounded by wooded land, the building then had an Italian-style terraced roof, harmonious gardens laid out in successive terraces, ponds and fountains, two orangeries (to the north and south) as well as a belvedere overlooking the village and the Oise valley.

Right now the Château d’Auvers, property of the Department of Val d’Oise, is hosting an exhibition event Van Gogh: the last journeys from October 2023 to September 2024 in Auvers-sur-Oise. It offers visitors an overview of Vincent van Gogh’s stay in France (1886-1890), and more particularly his stay in Auvers-sur-Oise, during which he created more than 75 paintings in less than 70 days, between May 20 and July 29, 1890. The exhibition also highlights the crucial role of Vincent’s brother, confidant and patron, Theo van Gogh. Wouter van der Veen, researcher and specialist in Vincent van Gogh, is curating this exhibition event.
