Two long beautiful halls with oak panels and two large paintings from 1853 depicting a battle between France and Morocco in 1844. The painting in the Hall facing the park is most likely the battle at Mogador (the residence of the King of Morocco) on Morocco's Atlantic coast. In the Hall facing the Church the painting most likely depicts the bombardment of Tangier.
In 1844 the French government, which was displeased with repeated attacks from Morocco to the French-owned Algeria, requested the Moroccan general Abd El-Kader to stop the aggressions. When El-Kader did not respond, France sent a squadron to the Moroccan coast under the command of the Prince of Joinville. The Prince of Joinville (1818-1900) was the son of King Louis-Philippe, nephew of Princess Adelaide, and owned the castle 1847 - 1900. He married the Princess of Brazil (daughter of the Brazilian Emperor).
The Hall facing the park serves as lounge and dining room, and the Hall facing the church is used primarily for larger dinners and parties.
