Castle of Saint-Georges-Motel, Historical castle in Saint-Georges-Motel, France.
The 17th-century castle stands on 235 acres with eighteen outbuildings, featuring a main building with two side pavilions and a steep slate roof.
King Henry IV stayed at this location before the Battle of Ivry in 1590, which marked a crucial step toward French unification.
American heiress Consuelo Vanderbilt transformed the castle into a summer residence in 1922, commissioning interior designs from the Paris-based firm Maison Jansen.
The castle property includes a surrounding moat, water mirrors, a central alley, and a park designed by landscape architect André Le Nôtre.
British Prime Minister Winston Churchill made frequent visits to the castle, where his friend Paul Maze maintained an art studio in the Moulin de Montreuil.
