Chateau d'Asnières

Chateau d'Asnières is an 18th century castle in Asnières-sur-Seine featuring ornate interior spaces. The rooms display grand staircases with iron railings, elaborate Rocaille decorations, and carefully restored gilded woodwork throughout.

A prominent official commissioned a renowned architect to build this residence in the 1750s as an elegant country villa. The building later developed into an important gathering place for cultural and social activities.

The castle served as a gathering place for cultural activities and hosted prominent visitors over the years. This artistic heritage continues today through its role as a venue for various events and meetings.

The building now houses a national sports organization and serves as a venue for cultural programs and business meetings. Visitors should check in advance whether tours or events are accessible, as entry depends on the operational calendar.

Three original decorative panels disappeared in the late 1800s and were rediscovered around 1996, then returned to their original gallery location. These recovered artworks tell a surprising story of loss and restoration spanning more than a century.
