In Elne, in the Pyrénées-Orientales, this château known as the Swiss maternity home of Elne carries a distinctive history from the turn of the 19th to the 20th century. Between 1939 and 1944, the Swiss Red Cross ran a maternity ward there for women exiled or deported, notably during the Retirada and the Second World War.
