Château de Brochon, Renaissance castle in Brochon, France.

The Château de Brochon stands with its limestone walls, high towers, and extensive windows reflecting architectural elements from Loire Valley castles.

Built between 1895 and 1898 by architects Louis Perreau and Albert Leprince, the castle replaced former Carthusian buildings from the 14th century.

The castle entrance hall features a coffered ceiling, stained glass windows with initials 'SL', and a life-size carved stone lion on the staircase.

The castle functions as the Stephen-Liégeard school since 1962 and opens its doors to visitors during European Heritage Days in September.

The castle grounds include an English park designed by Eugene Bühler with an alpine garden that once contained 800 different rose varieties.
