Château de Graville stands in Vernou-la-Celle-sur-Seine (Seine-et-Marne), in the Île-de-France region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, second quarter of the 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Graville castle, in Vernou-la-Celle-sur-Seine in the Seine-et-Marne department, stands on the site of a medieval stronghold built around 1235 and left in ruins by the early 16th century. The present building, begun in 1580, is attributed to architect Baptiste Androuet du Cerceau, who reused the old foundations to create a symmetrical rectangular main block. Much of the structure was demolished in 1863, when the Countess of Lancosme had the wings torn down, keeping only the central pavilion, whose interior was then remodelled. The grounds, once laid out with formal parterres and radiating avenues, were later turned into a landscape park by Denis Bühler.

What to know

  • The castle largely dates from the 16th century and stands on the foundations of a 13th century stronghold.
  • Only the central main building remains since the wings were demolished in 1863.
  • The 2006 heritage listing covers the facades and roofs of the castle and outbuildings, the moat, the park, and two monumental fireplaces in the entrance hall and dining room.
  • The grounds were redesigned as a landscape park in the 19th century by Denis Bühler.
