Château du Verduron stands in Marly-le-Roi (Yvelines), in the Île-de-France region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

Marly-le-Roi, in the Yvelines department, is home to a building known both as the château du Verduron and the château des Sphinx. What distinguishes this property is not so much its architecture as the succession of owners who marked its history since medieval times, including the Montmorency family, the Blouin brothers, and the playwright Victorien Sardou, who grew attached to it during the nineteenth century. Though modest in scale and left neglected for a long period, the building underwent restoration work in the early 2000s.
