Château de Villebon-sur-Yvette, Renaissance château in Villebon-sur-Yvette, France.

The castle stands within a 25-hectare wooded park on the banks of the Yvette River, 20 kilometers south of Paris.

Built between 1512 and 1656, the château underwent reconstruction by architect Louis Métezeau following a devastating fire in 1611.

The structure houses a Catholic college and functions as a spiritual retreat center for educational and social activities.

The property maintains several original structures, including the Sully entrance portal, water tower, and Henri IV pavilion.
