Château de Janvry, Historical castle in Janvry, France.
Château de Janvry is a castle with a U-shaped layout, featuring a main western wing flanked by two side wings and surrounded by water-filled moats. The grounds contain a large park with additional structures including storage buildings and utility areas.
This castle was built between 1600 and 1650 following the Louis XIII style, reflecting the architectural tastes of early 17th-century France. During World War II, the building sustained damage when occupying troops harvested wooden elements for heating during winter.
The property has been shaped by generations of the Reille family, who have kept its Louis XIII character while adapting it for modern use. Visitors can see this blend of historical features and contemporary function throughout the grounds.
The castle sits roughly 30 minutes south of Paris and functions as a venue for conferences, private events, and celebrations with flexible room configurations. Visitors should expect access to multiple interior and exterior spaces suited to different group sizes.
Remnants of prison cells from World War II still exist within the grounds, marking a chapter in the site's wartime past. Below ground, cellars once stored cider and fruit liqueurs that were produced using local apples.
