Château Régis, Historical monument in Saint-Menet district, Marseille, France.
Description
Château Régis is a castle in the 11th arrondissement of Marseille built between 1860 and 1865 by architects Sixte Rey and Vaud, incorporating architectural elements inspired by Château de Chenonceau. The building sits on Avenue de Saint-Menet and now serves as a private Catholic educational facility.
History
The castle was built between 1860 and 1865 for merchant Louis Régis by Marseille architects Sixte Rey and Vaud. It gained protected monument status in October 1996 when the building, its tower, and the surrounding park were officially registered.
Culture
The rooms contain decorative works by sculptor Émile Aldebert that show the French craftsmanship of the 19th century. Visitors can notice these sculptural details throughout the spaces, which reflect the tastes and artistic preferences of that era.
Practical
The property sits in a residential area and features a tower with surrounding parkland that can be viewed from outside. Today it functions as a private school, so interior access is limited to the institution's activities and purposes.
