Castel d'Orgeval stands in Villemoisson-sur-Orge (Essonne), in the Île-de-France region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
The Castel d'Orgeval is a villa built at the turn of the 20th century by architect Hector Guimard, a leading figure of Parisian Art Nouveau. Erected in Villemoisson-sur-Orge as the first building of a residential development, it stands out for its multiple-shaped roofs, turrets, and materials combining millstone grit, pale brick and wood. It is a private property and cannot be visited inside, though its façades can be seen from the street.
