#PalaceDay 2022 - celebrate with us!

On July 19, 2022 we are celebrating the European Royal Residences’ Day.

Join us!

Take a pic at the Castle or in the Royal Gardens and post in on social media with a hashtag #PalaceDay

This year’s theme: biodiversity

This year the theme of Biodiversity will be at the heart of the 7th edition of #PalaceDay, the international day dedicated to palaces. On this occasion, on July 19, many cultural institutions throughout the world, such as their public, will gather around this fragile but essential heritage to our daily lives.

Indeed, when we think of palaces and palace-museums, we usually think of large luxurious buildings, full of ornaments, paintings, and sculptures, we are looking for a throne, a royal room, or a sumptuous gallery. But we often forget the complexity of these places with their parks and gardens, and in particular the richness of the biodiversity that surrounds them and that institutions are anxious to protect! Huge wooded parks, English gardens, French gardens, ponds, and canals. Species of rare trees and flowers, wild
animals but also domestic animals, the European royal residences shelter a real natural heritage to observe and preserve. These parks and estates are indeed home to fauna and flora of unsuspected diversity and richness.
