Château de la Solitude stands in Le Plessis-Robinson (Hauts-de-Seine), in the Île-de-France region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Set within a wooded park in Le Plessis-Robinson, the neo-Gothic ruins of the Château de la Solitude bear witness to an eventful past, having served as a private residence, a convalescent home, and later an institution for unmarried young mothers. Built in 1903 for a Parisian chocolate manufacturer, the building went through several transformations before being abandoned and damaged by two fires. Visitors come mainly to walk the grounds, shaded by oaks and chestnut trees, and to glimpse the remains of what was once a glass-vaulted inner courtyard.
