Rododafni kastello, Protected chateau in Penteli, Greece.
The Rododafni kastello stands on Lord Byron street along the slope of Mount Pentelicus, constructed with local marble from the surrounding quarries.
Construction of this residence began in 1840 for Sophie de Marbois-Lebrun, Duchess of Plaisance, who supported the Greek revolution both financially and socially.
Greek architect Stamatios Kleanthis designed this neo-gothic structure, which represents an uncommon architectural style for nineteenth-century Greek buildings.
The municipality of Penteli now operates this building as a cultural center and library, with capacity to accommodate one thousand visitors during events.
Local narratives suggest the Duchess deliberately left portions of the building incomplete due to her belief that finishing construction would lead to her death.
