Château de la Solitude, Neo-Gothic château ruins in Le Plessis-Robinson, France.

The château features a central square courtyard design with remaining load-bearing walls and metal structures visible through its deteriorated exterior.

Built in 1903 for chocolate manufacturer François Philibert Marquis, the structure later served as a rest home where former Prime Minister René Viviani spent his final days.

The building's transformation into a technical school for single mothers from 1956 to 1973 reflects changing social attitudes in post-war France.

Located at 29 rue Paul-Rivet, the site sits within a public park containing oak and chestnut trees managed by the Hauts-de-Seine General Council.

Two devastating fires in 1977 and 1978 destroyed the roofs and interior elements, leaving only structural walls that continue to deteriorate among advancing vegetation.
