Some of the woodwork, exported to the USA, was recovered and installed in the Hôtel de Berny in Amiens (now a museum).During the restoration, the interior was furnished with collections of automata and antique clocks, thanks to the great industrial collector Roger Van Glabeke, who also re-launched the restoration of the estate in the 60's.Today, the château is inhabited and maintained by a couple of enthusiasts.
