Château de la Guette, Historical castle in Villeneuve-Saint-Denis, France.
The castle stands on three floors within green surroundings, located 40 kilometers from Paris in the Seine-et-Marne department.
The castle dates back to the 12th century and belonged to Dreux la Guette, valet of King Philip IV of France, in 1307.
In 1939, Baroness Rothschild provided the castle as a refuge for 130 Jewish children from Germany and Austria after Kristallnacht.
The castle now contains 32 social housing units, equipped with modern facilities and accessibility features for residents.
Germaine Le Hénaff, who directed the castle during World War II, protected Jewish children by giving them different names and received recognition as Righteous Among the Nations.
