Palais Sorrento, Historical monument in Pau, France.
The Sorrento Palace features multiple levels with a western tower, an eastern greenhouse, and a Carrara marble staircase decorated with four caryatids.
Built between 1883 and 1902 by transportation entrepreneur Leon-Joseph Merillon and his American wife Cornelia Clinch, the palace became the largest villa in Pau.
The name Sorrento reflects the Italian influence in architecture, before being renamed Castet de l'Array in 1930 by the last Merillon descendant.
Guided tours operate from July to September, limited to 10 people per group, lasting two hours at a cost of 6 euros.
During World War II, the palace was partially requisitioned by German forces and also served as a resistance center.
