Château des Vaux

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château des Vaux is an imposing 19th-century château located in the part of the Perche now in Eure-et-Loir. It spans two communes: Pontgouin and Saint-Maurice-Saint-Germain. The original château was built in the 17th century. Acquired after 1805 by Étienne Jean François d'Aligre, it was considerably transformed and enlarged from 1847 by his grandson, Étienne de Pomereu d'Aligre. From 1889 to 1926 it remained the property of his widow, Marie Charlotte de Preaulx, the last Marquise d'Aligre, who kept it until her death. Since 1946, it has been owned by the Apprentis d'Auteuil, who host young people in difficulty.
