Château de Berny, Classical castle in Fresnes, France.
The château consists of a main building with symmetrical wings, displaying the refined proportions and geometric patterns of French classical architecture from the 1600s.
François Mansart constructed the castle between 1623 and 1625 for Pierre IV Brûlart de Sillery, marking a period of architectural advancement in French design.
The north wing of the castle incorporated a theater where performances took place, reflecting the role of French nobility in supporting arts during the 17th century.
The remaining structures of Château de Berny are located at 30 rue Jules-Guesde in Fresnes, with the preserved pavilion registered as a historical monument since 1929.
During La Fronde civil war, owner Pomponne II de Bellièvre used the castle for secret political meetings that influenced the course of French history.
