A 10-minute walk from the <\/strong>Ch\u00e2teau de Chantilly<\/strong><\/a>, <\/strong>the Pavillon de Manse, also known as the \u2018Moulin des princes\u2019 (Princes\u2019 Mill) invites you to enjoy a unique experience on the banks of the river Nonette.

Built in the late 17th century, the Pavillon de Manse houses the \u2018Grandes Eaux\u2019 machine<\/strong> \u2013 a large wooden wheel designed to supply water to the ornamental ponds and fountains of the ch\u00e2teau gardens. Over the centuries, various water-powered machines have complemented this unique machine. Today, you are invited to witness the operation of these machines, which have been restored by a team of enthusiastic volunteers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A machine for a lavish display<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Andr\u00e9 Le N\u00f4tre<\/strong>, the king\u2019s gardener, was hired to create a garden with \u2018Grandes Eaux\u2019 <\/strong>(large water features) in the Ch\u00e2teau de Chantilly\u2019s park. To enable the functioning of the many fountains that were planned, it was necessary to build a machine<\/strong> that would fill with water a large reservoir, from which the pipes would run. Jacques de Manse, <\/strong>a businessman and advisor to the king, is responsible of these works, while master carpenter Albert built the wooden water wheel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And to house this extraordinary machine, a remarkable stone structure<\/strong> was built by the king’s architect, Jules Hardouin Mansart<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continuing to pioneer in hydraulics<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the Revolution, the Chantilly estate was declared a bien national.<\/em> The hydraulic machine was brought under the control of the municipality and was used to supply water<\/strong> to the developing city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1840, the Duke of Aumale<\/strong>, who had returned to his property, dismantled the now out-of-order 17th-century machine and had it replaced by a new pump. A new turbine system was installed in 1870, in line with the latest advancements in technology<\/strong>. Drilling more than 100 metres deep enabled the ch\u00e2teau<\/strong> and its dependencies to be supplied with drinking water<\/strong>. A laundry equipped with a calender \u2013 a machine used to press the laundry \u2013 was installed in the adjacent building. The Pavillon de Manse remained active until 1987.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new life<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Visiting this little-known industrial treasure is an entertaining experience that is accessible<\/strong> to all. Children and adults alike have the opportunity to learn, in a fun way, everything about the working of hydraulic mechanisms<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

In 1997, the Association Pavillon Jacques de Manse<\/strong>, made up of volunteers, was formed to restore the interior of the building and its hydraulic machines<\/strong>. The wooden water wheel<\/strong> was rebuilt <\/strong>as it was described in 1784 in an album preserved at Mus\u00e9e Cond\u00e9<\/a>. It was inaugurated in 2005.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
