Château de Neuilly

Neuilly-sur-Seine, France

No longer standing

Demolished or destroyed.

The Château de Neuilly, built in 1751 in Neuilly-sur-Seine by architects Jean-Sylvain Cartaud and Pierre-François-Léonard Fontaine, once commanded a vast 170-hectare estate encompassing what is now much of the town between avenue du Roule and Levallois-Perret. Acquired by the House of Orléans in 1819, the château was looted and burned during the 1848 French Revolution, then confiscated by Napoleon III in 1852. The estate was subsequently parceled off from 1854 onward. Today, only one wing survives—a 19th-century section designed by Fontaine that was incorporated in 1908 into a convent complex built by Maurice Humbert for the Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Thomas of Villeneuve, now located at 52 boulevard d'Argenson.
