Château de Brienne-le-Château is a magnificent palace from the second half of the 18th century, located in the commune of Brienne-le-Château in the Aube department, in the Grand Est region. The castle is partly registered as a historical monument. The castle was inaugurated in 1778. The castle has a classical style and is surrounded by a large park with an orangery, a lavoir and a glacière. The castle is also called “the little Versailles of the Aube”.

The castle also has a historical link with Napoleon Bonaparte, who studied there at the military school. In 1814, he stayed there for two nights during the Battle of La Rothière, where he almost managed to surprise the Prussian general Blücher in the castle1. In 1805, Napoleon tried to buy the castle for his mother, but the young Countess de Brienne refused him.

The castle is now a psychiatric hospital.
