Château des Boulayes, Neoclassical castle in Châtres, France
The white stone structure features 42 Corinthian pilasters across its facades, with 38 bays arranged in perfect symmetrical order at two floor levels.
Nicolas-Claude Girardin constructed the castle between July and December 1785 for Claude Bellanger, a colonel in the King's bodyguards of Louis XVI.
The dining room contains original eighteenth-century decorative elements, including stoves adorned with statues created by artist Marentin.
The castle stands 40 kilometers from Paris in Seine-et-Marne department, with facades and roofs protected under French heritage regulations since 1946.
The original pitched roof was replaced in 1912 with an Italian-style flat roof surrounded by a stone balustrade, altering its architectural silhouette.
