France · 18th century
The château de Stors is an 18th-century château in the village of Stors in L'Isle-Adam, Val-d'Oise on the hillside of the Oise valley (left bank).
The estate covers the towns of L'Isle-Adam and Mériel and is included in the vallée de Chauvry classified natural site. In the 19th century it reached to the other bank of the river, with a vegetable garden on the territory which is now covered by Butry-sur-Oise.
Built at the start of the 18th century and embellished by Pierre Contant d'Ivry for the prince de Conti, the château was badly damaged by bombing in the Second World War.
