Château de Vilmorin, Renaissance castle in Verrières-le-Buisson, France
The Château de Vilmorin stands on the northern slope of the Bièvre valley, featuring three towers and charming outbuildings from the 15th to 19th centuries.
The castle's construction began in the 17th century and underwent expansion to the west between 1765 and 1786, receiving historical monument status in 1965.
Philippe-André Levêque de Vilmorin acquired the property in 1815 to conduct botanical research, leading to significant advances in plant biology research.
Located at 2 Rue d'Estienne d'Orves, the castle opens its doors to visitors who can explore both the Renaissance architecture and the surrounding gardens.
The castle maintained continuous family ownership through inheritance rather than sales, with notable resident Louise de Vilmorin hosting writer André Malraux until 1976.
