Château de Millemont

The Château de Millemont comprises two castles from different architectural periods, with a larger residence built in 1710 and a smaller one from 1515. Together they form a varied estate that showcases multiple building styles and historical layers.

Guillaume IV de Briconnet, a senior legal official and advisor to the Parliament of Paris, commissioned the larger castle. The smaller building dates from an earlier period and reflects the site's longer history.

The castle served as a filming location for period dramas, attracting directors seeking authentic historical settings. This role has given the estate contemporary cultural relevance beyond its original purpose.

The site holds protected status under French heritage laws, with specific areas designated for preservation of their historical structures. Visitors should expect that access may be restricted and guided tours or prior booking may be required.

In 2015, the castle grounds hosted POC21, an innovation camp that developed sustainable living solutions within historical architecture. This rare encounter between ancient structures and modern design offered an experimental approach to the future of heritage preservation.
