Domain of Montreuil, Historical monument in Versailles, France
The Domain of Montreuil is an estate in Versailles with an orangery, neoclassical buildings, and gardens spanning several hectares. The orangery now functions as an exhibition space, maintained by local authorities.
The property was acquired in the late 18th century for a member of the royal family, who established a social service facility on the grounds. The orangery was later taken over by a regional institution and converted into a public space.
The chapel and Turkish boudoir showcase architectural styles from different periods that visitors encounter while exploring the grounds. The gardens blend European and Asian design principles in an unexpected way.
The orangery is accessible and hosts regular exhibitions open to visitors. It is worth exploring the surrounding gardens and buildings to experience the entire estate.
A physician brought rare plants to the estate while providing care to poorer residents in the area. This blend of botanical interest and community service shaped the character of the place for generations.
