Château de Passy

Château de Passy is a castle in Passy, France, built in the classical style of the 17th century during the Louis XIII period. The building displays a U-shaped layout with a pediment facade and two projecting wings, while outbuildings frame a square courtyard.

The castle was built in the 17th century as a noble residence in the classical style. It survived the French Revolution, though its owner, Count Antoine Mégret de Sérilly, was executed.

The castle takes its name from the village of Passy, which was once a rural settlement. Today, residents and visitors appreciate the classical architectural style that defines the character of the place.

The castle is now converted into private apartments and offers no public tours. The historic staircase can be partially viewed from outside, and the surroundings allow you to appreciate the exterior structure of the estate.

The original gateway of the outbuildings still stands and shows remnants of an ancient drawbridge mechanism. This defensive feature reflects a time when such systems were needed to protect noble estates.
