Castillo Marroquín, Châteauesque house in Chía, Colombia.
The Castillo Marroquín spans across 61 hectares of land, featuring two main floors and four-story towers that overlook the surrounding Cundinamarca region.
French architect Gaston Lelarge designed this residence in 1898 for Lorenzo Marroquín Osorio, son of José Manuel Marroquín who served as President of Colombia.
The architectural design combines elements from medieval European castles with Renaissance influences, including defensive ramparts and observation watchtowers throughout the structure.
The castle currently functions as a public venue for events and gatherings, managed by the state after its confiscation in the 1990s.
The property includes multiple towers reaching four stories in height, offering panoramic views of the adjacent town of Chía and the Andean landscape.
