Château de l'Ermitage, Empire style château in Gif-sur-Yvette, France.

The Château de l'Ermitage stands as a square residence with two floors, spanning 248 square meters within a former nine-hectare park.

Baron Claude-François de Méneval, Napoleon I's first secretary, constructed this residence in 1831, marking the beginning of its documented history.

The château's main hall displays a bust of Juliette Adam and contains furniture pieces that represent the local heritage of Gif-sur-Yvette.

The building now functions as the town hall of Gif-sur-Yvette, hosting civil marriage ceremonies and administrative services for local residents.

The former stables of the château have been converted into a cinema, while the orangery serves as a meeting space for local associations.
