Château de Montesquiou stands in Mauperthuis (Seine-et-Marne), in the Île-de-France region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Montesquiou Castle, built in the last quarter of the 18th century in Mauperthuis, preserves two remarkable features from its era: a rockery grotto designed by architect Brongniart and an ornamental fountain from the former servants' courtyard. These two structures testify to the refined garden designs sought by owners of aristocratic estates during that period.

What to know

  • The rockery grotto and the servants' courtyard fountain are listed or classified as historic monuments.
  • Access to protected elements and visiting conditions are not documented: inquire at the Mauperthuis town hall.
