When the work began, the Châtelaine, Dorianne Destenay Bovet, originally an artist in New York, was struck by the superb views through the six vaulted stone doors. Inspired by the beauty of the Alps and the bucolic countryside, she decided that the doors should become the focal point of the restoration.

She used glass to preserve the views and natural daylight and added wrought iron decorative elements evoking the garden’s irises and daylilies. They were made by Fabio Zacchei, a well known artisan in Siena.

This unique decor includes as well original chandeliers and lights, a perfect marriage of ancient masonry and innovative contemporary elements, evoking the famous irises and lilies of the castle grounds. The works of art, painting and antique furniture are from the private collection of the Château.
