Château de Viarmes stands in Viarmes (Val-d'Oise), in the Île-de-France region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: third quarter of the 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Built in 1758 for Jean-Baptiste Élie Camus de Pontcarré, the château de Viarmes stands on the village's main square and now houses the town hall along with a museum devoted to local history. Its classical facade, built of the region's pale stone, is arranged in a U-shape around a porch flanked by columns and topped with a pediment carved with the first owner's coat of arms. Two rooms still display original Rocaille woodwork, doors and mirrors, the only interior décor open to view. The surrounding park disappeared in the mid-19th century, sold off in lots after the town acquired the estate.
