Description

The Château de Saint-Martin-du-Tertre, formerly named Château de Franconville aux bois, is located in France at Saint-Martin-du-Tertre in the department of Val-d’Oise (95270).

Built from 1876 by Destailleurs for the Duke of Massa, it is the "improved twin" of the Château de Maisons-Laffitte, of which François Mansart was the architect.

Having kept its park, with its follies and cast-iron statues, it has been partly registered as a historic monument since 4 December 1987.
