Château de la Bonde stands in Milly-la-Forêt (Essonne), in the Île-de-France region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument. No visits are on record for this building.
In Milly-la-Forêt, the château de la Bonde stands beside the École river, whose diverted waters feed the canals and moat surrounding the entrance gatehouse. Built in the 12th century by the lords of Milly and rebuilt in the late 15th century after being ruined during the English siege of 1432, it retains two crenellated towers flanking a gateway once defended by a portcullis. The tree-lined park along the canals rounds out this estate, set close to the Notre-Dame collegiate church.
