Château Smith-Champion, 17th century castle in Nogent-sur-Marne, France.
Smith-Champion Castle combines Renaissance and classical architectural styles, featuring military trophies and bas-reliefs decorating its main facade.
Generals Michel and Louis-Camus Destouches, serving under Louis XIV, modified the residence in the 17th century by adding military decorative elements.
Sisters Madeleine Smith-Champion, a painter, and Jeanne Smith, a photographer, bequeathed the property to the State in 1944 for artists' residence.
The National House of Artists now accommodates 80 residents with painting studios, pianos, and a conference room at their disposal.
The estate includes a 10-hectare park converted into an English garden, while maintaining traces of its former French formal design.
