France
The Château du Marais is a French castle situated in the commune of Val-Saint-Germain, near Saint-Chéron, in the former province of Hurepoix, today in the department of Essonne, thirty-six kilometres south-west of Paris.
Built by the architect Jean-Benoît-Vincent Barré for Jean Le Maître de La Martinière, treasurer general of the Artillery and the Engineers, it is considered one of the most remarkable examples of a Louis XVI-style château in the Paris region.
It belonged successively to the Noailles, Castellane, Talleyrand-Périgord, Pourtalès and Frotier de Bagneux families. It was bought by Daniel Křetínský in June 2022.
