Château de Laversine, 19th century château in Saint-Maximin, France.

The château features a stone construction using materials from local Saint-Maximin quarries, with large windows and ornate architectural details throughout its exterior.

Baron de Rothschild commissioned architect Alfred-Philibert Aldrophe to construct this residence in 1874, replacing an earlier medieval hunting lodge from 1166.

The estate served as a gathering place for the Rothschild family's social events and hunting parties during the period between World Wars.

The château now functions as a vocational school named Lycée Professionnel Donation de Rothschild, operating on weekdays from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM.

During World War II, German forces used the château as their command center for V1 rocket construction operations in neighboring quarries.
