Château de Ferrières

Château de Ferrières (French pronunciation: [ʃɑto də fɛʁjɛʁ]) is a French château built between 1855 and 1859 for Baron James de Rothschild in the Goût Rothschild style located in central France, some 26 km east of Paris. James de Rothschild originally bought the property in 1829 from the heirs of Joseph Fouché, a minister of Napoleon I. At that time, the property consisted of only a small castle on the bank of a pond with a few additional land plots that James de Rothschild added through successive acquisitions. Rothschild ownership of the Château de Ferrières was passed down through the male line according to the rule of primogeniture, until it was donated by Guy and Marie-Hélène de Rothschild in 1975 to the University of Paris. Considered to be the largest and most luxurious 19th-century château in France, it can be reached from Rue Rucherie in the town of Ferrières-en-Brie in the Seine-et-Marne department.
