Château d'Urville, 19th-century castle in Courcelles-Chaussy, France

The Château d'Urville displays neo-Gothic Rhineland architecture with a square dungeon and a 50-meter bell tower constructed between 1903 and 1905.

German Emperor Wilhelm II owned and renovated the castle from 1890 to 1918, installing modern amenities such as telephone lines and electric lighting systems.

The castle houses France's first museum of ancient icons, preserving an extensive collection of religious artworks dating from the 16th to 19th centuries.

The castle grounds include guided tours through decorated rooms, restroom facilities, and educational spaces as part of an agricultural training center.

Located on the left bank of the French Nied River, the castle stands near an ancient Roman road and the historical Mesnils farm.
