Château de Montboissier, Neoclassical château in Montboissier, France.

The entrance pavilions, Pavillon de Flore and Pavillon des Roses, stand as remnants of the original château, featuring brick and stone construction.

Construction of the château began in 1772 under architect Nicolas Marie Potain, commissioned by Marie Charlotte Madeleine Boutin, Vicomtesse de Montboissier.

Writer François-René de Chateaubriand spent time at one of the pavilions in 1817, documenting his experience in 'Mémoires d'outre-tombe'.

The château is located between Chartres and Châteaudun in the Eure-et-Loir department, accessible through the commune of Montboissier.

The original château featured a central dome and was dismantled in 1795, with its materials repurposed for local constructions, including a church.
