Château de la Reynarde

Château de la Reynarde is a manor with a chapel and supporting buildings located in the Saint-Menet district of Marseille. The property sits within a maintained park and currently operates as a care facility.

The property took its name from the foxes that roamed the surrounding woods and became a feudal holding in 1715 when acquired by the Marquis du Muy. Over time it evolved into an important rural estate with changing uses and ownership.

During World War II, the Mexican consulate transformed the castle into a residence shelter, housing over 800 Spanish refugees who organized schools and activities.

The site is not open to visitors as it currently operates as a care facility. However, the Saint-Menet neighborhood offers opportunities to explore this quieter part of Marseille and its surroundings.

During World War II, the Mexican consulate converted the property into a shelter that housed over 800 Spanish refugees. This chapter became a defining moment in the estate's later history.
