The shape it held in its prime.

A vast rectangular five-storey stone palace with a long, symmetrical pale ashlar façade punctuated by three large arched central portals and regular rows of tall windows; the building forms a giant forecourt giving onto a semicircular formal parterre and paired segmental outbuildings that embrace the approach. From the rear, a broad terrace descends into a straight tree‑lined canal with successive basins, cascades and classical stone fountains stretching into wooded parkland.
