Château de la Reynarde, Medieval castle in Saint-Menet district, Marseille, France.

The castle features a main building, a chapel, outbuildings, and a landscaped park covering 44 hectares within the Saint-Menet district of Marseille.

The estate received its name from the numerous foxes in the surrounding woods and became a fief in 1715 when acquired by the Marquis du Muy.

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 castle, designated as a historical monument in 1996, currently operates as a social care center supporting 106 children and young adults.

The property generated an annual income of 40,000 livres when it was inhabited only by farmers during its early years as a county.

Location: 11th arrondissement of Marseille

Address: avenue de Saint-Menet
