Château des Matignon, Classical castle and museum in Torigny-les-Villes, France

The southern wing of Château des Matignon stands as a testament to 17th-century architecture, featuring symmetrical design elements and grand stone facades.

Built around 1600 by architect François Gabriel, the castle survived significant damage during the French Revolution and World War II bombardments.

The Château houses the Musée Arthur-Le-Duc, presenting regional art collections while functioning as the town hall for local administration.

Located at latitude 49.034 and longitude -0.978813, the castle offers guided tours through its exhibition spaces and municipal offices.

The marriage of Jacques III to Princess Louise Hippolyte of Monaco created lasting connections between the Matignon family and the Grimaldi dynasty.
