Château de Mortefontaine, Heritage castle in Mortefontaine, France
The stone castle displays classical French architecture with symmetrical wings, large windows, and a central courtyard surrounded by traditional gardens.
Philippe Hotman commissioned the construction of this castle between 1600 and 1630, establishing it as the center of the Plailly-Montmélian marquisate.
Joseph Bonaparte transformed the castle into a diplomatic center, hosting the signing of the Treaty of Mortefontaine with the United States in 1800.
The castle remains a private residence following periods as a Dominican school from 1949 to 1958 and a luxury hotel starting in 1987.
Louis III Le Peletier created an English garden and commissioned a monumental fountain to provide water access for local residents.
