Built between 1640 and 1650 for René de Longueil, the Château de Maisons is a modern château for the time in which classical and baroque aesthetics blend. This is the first large “open” castle with its central vestibule and open staircase. Designed to receive the King after the hunt, the Château de Maisons was completed in 1651. It wonderfully embodies the spirit of its time. Symmetry, majesty, balance of forms, elegance of the roofs: it is a true model which prefigures classical art...

Set amongst manicured gardens in a northwestern suburb of Paris, Chateau de Maisons-Laffitte is a stunning example of French baroque architecture.

Built in 1651 by Francois Mansart, the chateau first belonged to the Longueuil family, who were associated French Parlement court. In 1777, the castle passed to King Louis XVI's brother, Comte d'Artois before being confiscated during the French Revolution in 1798. In 1905, the French state bought the castle to save it from demolition.

The castle is now open to visitors from 10am to 12.30pm and 2pm to 6pm. Tickets cost €8 for adults. You can find more information, here: chateau-maisons.fr/en

The baroque castle of Maisons-Laffitte (French Château de Maisons-Laffitte originally Château de Maisons) is located in the French community of Maisons-Laffitte in the Yvelines department of the Île-de-France region. The exterior of the 17th century castle has been preserved almost unchanged and can be visited by visitors.
