Descripción
This château was built and rebuilt between 1600 and 1850. The castle was owned by a famous chemist, physicist, botanic and alchemist.
4000sqm castle
1000sqm outbuildings (orangery, horse stables - 4 horses, office shed, gatehouse ...)
Situation: roofs in order, no moisture in basements or walls - only occasionally leaky pipes, so nothing that can not be easily put in order.

It can not stay that way !!! We want to provide a stylish ambience for weddings and overnight guests. We love abandoned châteaus, but they should be habitable.
We do not want a “should look like that" style. We maintain our own style, i.e. we need someone to turn the castle into a magnificent swan - freestanding bathtubs in large rooms with views out French windows into a 26 ha park yet to be cared for.
What we need: Nice people from all over the world, that can do the tasks mentioned above with us - and please as soon as possible!!
What do we offer: everything, so that everyone feels comfortable to quickly reach a grandiose finish

We speak German, French and English

I spent in one week at the place and the time was flying so fast. The work was pretty easy but always funny because you have other workawayers on that place. Furthermore there was always enough food so I had great dinners in front of the castle in the middle of nature.
Elisabeth and Ulli are very lovely and funny people.
Thank you for the short… read more

Staying at the beautiful chateau was amazing. Uli and Elizabeth are so lovely and thoughtful. We stayed there with another 9 workawayers, and we were like one big family. Working at the day, and cooking during the night. We had some pleasant evenings of playing music and singing.
We are looking forward to come and stay there again 😊

Absolutely, super host!
I consider myself lucky that I happened to be in Chateau Lavoisier.
Future volunteers, be prepared to work hard and be sure that you will be surrounded by care!
Life in a chateau is like a commune, where everyone can bring benefit, creativity and ideas.
Along the way, you will learn a lot.

This was my first workaway experience, and I could not have asked for a better start. Our hosts were extremely accommodating and welcoming. There were more volunteers than normal while we were there, and it really started to feel like a big family very quickly. The work is reasonable, the food is great, and the company is even better.

I have been in the Chateau for 3 weeks, there are many types of jobs that can be done, they are not heavy and the hours are very very flexible. Olli and Elisabeth are very kind, helpful people ...

Elisabeth and Ullirich are both wonderful people. They were extremely accommodating for our group of three. The cultural exchange alone makes this work away worth visiting. The work that you will do is also very worth your stay. As well as having an almost open kitchen and a private room makes this an amazing stop. One downside is the distance to… read more

I spent almost a month in this chateau, Elizabeth, Uli, and Bentley are amazing hosts, it's rare to find projects where you can have so much freedom and this one is definitely one of those. I had an amazing time there, if you're with the right people there's always something fun to do in this place.

Elizabeth and Uli, thank you so much for… read more

I have been at this place for just over four weeks now and have had the opportunity to meet many lovely and wonderful people. The work was very flexible and I always had a sense of community. With music in the background, we painted the breakfast room, worked outside in the flowerbed or scraped off unwanted plaster walls. I really appreciated how… read more

Thanks to Olli and Elizabeth for their kind welcome, This place was much more fun than I was expecting. I met workers from five other nationalities during my stay. The large site is full of stylish accommodation as well as areas to renovate. I worked in the forest logging wood throughout the stay. The forest goes on far outside the twelve acres we… read more

We stayed at this beautiful and unique chateau for about 3 weeks and it was just great. Elisabeth and Olli are extremely nice and always made sure that we feel good and have enough food :).

I stayed with Elizabeth and Olli or four weeks, they were very welcoming and provided me with everything I needed. I stayed in my own room in the Gite next to the Chateau. The Chateau is huge and sits in it's own forest, it is a really nice area to walk around. Some of the rooms are finished and some need a lot of work still. There are lots of… read more

It was a pleasure to have Daniel with us. No job was too hard or too boring for him. We enjoyed discussing with him or playing billiards. A workawayer like in a picture book!
Daniel, we wish you all the best and hope to see you again.
Thanks for everything

Our experience in general was good, but the work is badly organized and there was no good communication between the people in charge. To put some order, we proposed to create a work plan and distribution of tasks, but it was normal that priorities changed at the last minute. The lack of appropriate tools and materials was also a problem. All this… read more
