Château de Saint-Gervais, Asnières, France

The first record of Château de Saint-Gervais dates back to the year 1198. In 1651 Jean de Carrey, Advisor to the King in his finance chamber, acquires the titles of Lord of Saint Gervais. The destruction of the original chateau occured at the time of the Revolution (1794). In 1837 the land and property at Saint Gervais was acquired by Michel Pierre Alexis Hebert, barrister in the High Court subsequent Garde des Sceaux in the Ministry of Justice in 1847. He later became a Deputy at Pont Audemer and Chief Counsellor of the Eure region. This ancestor of our current family was responsible for building the chateau that is on site today. The current castle and other buildings were built in two phases in the 19th century. The two-storey square mansion was completed in 1840. The tower was built in 1891.

We were received very friendly. The chateau is very atmospheric and spacious. The children enjoyed themselves in the play rooms and outside on the tennis court. The kitchen is small, but was renovated and enlarged after our departure. The area is beautiful and very varied.

Juste parfait. Nous avons louer la maison plus un autre gite pour 4 jours. Nos amis ont apprécié le charme du lieu et le confort du château. Nous avons profité de la cheminée, du parc, du terrain de tennis. Les enfants ont été enchantés d'avoir un étage juste pour eux avec les baby-foot, la table de ping-pong et la salle de jeux. Bref, un super week-end pour tous. Merci. Les propriétaires ainsi que le gardien ont également été parfaits, de la disponibilité et du conseil, rien à dire, un grand merci.

Jan Hus Memorial

The Jan Hus Memorial stands at one end of Old Town Square. The huge monument depicts victorious Hussite warriors and Protestants who were forced into exile 200 years after Hus, and a young mother who symbolises national rebirth. The monument was so large that the sculptor designed and built his own villa and studio where the work could be carried out. It was unveiled in 1915 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Jan Hus' martyrdom. The memorial was designed by Ladislav Šaloun and paid for solely by public donations.

Born in 1369, Hus became an influential religious thinker, philosopher, and reformer in Prague. He was a key predecessor to the Protestant movement of the sixteenth century. In his works he criticized religious moral decay of the Catholic Church. Accordingly, the Czech patriot Hus believed that mass should be given in the vernacular, or local language, rather than in Latin. He was inspired by the teachings of John Wycliffe.
