Château de Pont-sur-Seine, Medieval castle in Pont-sur-Seine, France

The castle stands on elevated ground near the Seine River, featuring classical French architecture with high towers and formal gardens.

Claude Bouthillier de Chavigny, superintendent of finances under Louis XIII, commissioned architect Pierre Le Muet to build the castle in 1632.

The castle served as a residence for Napoleon Bonaparte's mother, Madame Laetitia Bonaparte, from 1805 until the fall of the Empire.

The castle remains closed to public visits, but inquiries can be made through telephone at +33 3 25 21 44 46 or email at 10cspp@gmail.com.

Prussian troops commanded by the Prince of Württemberg deliberately destroyed the castle in 1814, preventing local villagers from protecting the structure.
