Rosny-sur-Seine Château

En un regard

Le château en bref

Rosny-sur-Seine Château, also known as the Château de Sully, is a French château in the Louis XIII style, located in the commune of Rosny-sur-Seine in the department of Yvelines and the region of Île-de-France, on the left bank of the Seine downstream of Mantes-la-Jolie. Built at the very end of the 16th century for the famous Duke of Sully, minister of Henri IV, it was sold in 1718 by the last Duke of Sully to David Olivier, Comte de Sénozan (1642–1722), and eventually passed to his great-granddaughter Sabine Olivier de Senozan de Viriville (1764–1794), wife of Archambaud de Talleyrand-Périgord, Duke of Talleyrand (1762–1838). The Duchess of Berry, owner from 1818 to 1830, then had the château remodelled by the architect Froelicher. Saved from total destruction in 1840 by the Comte Le Marois, who had the wings built by the Duchess of Berry demolished, it was carefully restored by the Lebaudy family, who owned it until 1955. In 1984, together with nine other estates, it became the property of the Japanese company Nippon Sangyoo Kabushiki Kaisha. Its furnishings were sold, the building was left to decay, and it was severely damaged by a fire, after which the State decided to undertake emergency rescue works. It was transferred in 1998 to Bernard Anthonioz, who, intending to convert it into a "relais-château", undertook major maintenance and restoration work from his own funds without subsidy (7 million euros).
