Château Porgès de Rochefort-en-Yvelines, Private château in Rochefort-en-Yvelines, France.

The château stands as a grand replica of Paris's Hôtel de Salm Kyrbourg, featuring extensive gardens and a distinctive water cascade spanning one hectare.

Jules Porgès, an Austrian diamond merchant, commissioned the construction of this residence in 1898 as a gift for his wife Rose Anna Wodianer.

The interior spaces display a collection of 18th-century furniture, bronzes, and ivory pieces, arranged throughout grand reception rooms and galleries.

The property now functions as a business venue with 15 meeting rooms and a 600-square-meter gallery designed for corporate events and seminars.

During World War I, the château transformed into a hospital, later serving as a temporary base for both German and American forces in World War II.
