Château du Mesnil-Saint-Denis, Renaissance castle in Le Mesnil-Saint-Denis, France
The castle features classical French architecture with symmetrical wings, a central courtyard, and limestone facades adorned with decorative elements and tall windows.
Louis Habert de Montmort, Secretary of Finance to Henry III, initiated the construction of the castle in 1589, establishing its presence in the Yvelines region.
The castle served as a residence for notable figures, including King Zog of Albania and Queen Geraldine during their exile in 1940.
The municipal offices of Le Mesnil-Saint-Denis now operate from the castle grounds, housing administrative services and the mayor's office since 1952.
During the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, the castle accommodated Prussian troops, including Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II von Mecklenburg-Schwerin.
