Château de La Boissière, Louis XIII style château in La Boissière-École, France

The château exhibits red brick and stone alternating patterns across its facade, topped with steep-sloped roofs characteristic of 1850s French architecture.

Between 1853 and 1857, the construction of Château de La Boissière transformed the former medieval fief of Saint-Léger into a grand residence.

In 1886, owner Olympe Hériot established a boarding school for war orphans within the château, marking its transition to educational purposes.

The castle grounds encompass numerous century-old trees and a pond covered with water lilies, accessible through designated pathways.

The interior features a white and yellow marble staircase, along with a library containing volumes of the Revue des Deux Mondes collection.
