Château des Fontaines stands in Chantilly (Oise), in the Hauts-de-France region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Château des Fontaines stands amid wooded grounds on the edge of Chantilly, built in the closing decades of the 19th century for the Rothschild family. Its design blends several historical references, from medieval touches to early 17th-century and Louis XIV influences, marked by steep roofs and stone-and-brick masonry. The estate is now private, used as a corporate conference venue, so the exterior, roofline and surrounding park are what visitors passing nearby can actually take in.
