En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château du Marquis de Chateauneuf, in Montrouge (Hauts-de-Seine, rue de la République), was built for a member of the Châteauneuf family, a marquis who acquired the lordship of Montrouge around 1600. Its most likely builder is Charles de l'Aubépine, Marquis de Châteauneuf, Keeper of the Seals under Cardinal Richelieu, who occupied it until his death in 1663. In 1691 the estate passed to M. de Morstein. With a symmetrical H-shaped plan, an attic storey and orderly elevations, decorated with painted ornament and a roof combining classical pitches and pavilions with broken roofs, the château was demolished around 1815, and its grounds were subdivided into building plots during the nineteenth century. Nothing of it survives today.
