Château de Grignon

En un regard

Le château en bref

Château de Grignon is a former gentleman's residence located in Orly, built during the second half of the seventeenth century. The exterior cladding was entirely redone in the nineteenth century, and the dovecote and the tower were also built at that time. The main building was later extended in the twentieth century. It was first known as the Château Auge. It stands at the heart of a landscaped garden and, since 1986, has been owned by the Orphelins Apprentis d'Auteuil, who use it as a boarding school and have renamed it Maison Jean-XXIII. The château and its park are listed in the national inventory of heritage. In 1943, thirty-eight Jews were gathered at the Château de Grignon before being deported to Auschwitz. Since 2015, a commemorative plaque has paid tribute to them.
