Château de Vitry-la-Ville. ⠀
The Château de Vitry-la-Ville is a building of the Marne department of the Champagne-Ardenne region. Hughes Mathé, the chief tax collector in Champagne, began construction of the castle in 1608. Jean de Bar, a disciple of Le Nôtre, established gardens in 1650. He changes the course of the river Genelle, so that its waters flow around the castle. To access it, a bascule bridge is being built.

Le Château de Vitry-la-Ville est une bâtisse du département de la Marne de la région Champagne-Ardenne. Hughes Mathé, receveur général des finances de Champagne se fait construire un château en 1608, sur un niveau, en craie et au toit d'ardoise . Il fait aménager les jardins en 1650 par un élève de le Nôtre, Jean de Bar. Il détourne la Genelle, cours d'eau qui va faire le tour du château. Il se reflète dans un miroir d'eau et il faut un pont levis pour y accéder.

Гюг Мате, главный сборщик налогов в Шампани, начал строительство замка в 1608 году. Жан де Баре, ученик Андре Ленотра, разбил сады в 1650. Он меняет русло реки Генель так, что ее воды текут вокруг замка. Для доступа к нему был построен подъемный мост.

Some architectural photography is about the straight and clean lines of Neutra or the swooping curves of Zaha Hadid set again a blazing sunset. Then there is the architectural photography of trying to hide the building in the landscape while ensuring we don't confuse the two.
Then there is the architectural photography of abandoned buildings and our inherent intrest to contexts of why they were abandoned.
