Château d'Athis, Listed castle in Athis-Mons, France.
Château d'Athis is a neoclassical castle near Paris with a central block topped by a pediment and two higher corner pavilions creating a balanced facade. Supporting structures and outbuildings surround the main residence on the property.
The property was acquired and redesigned in the 1700s by a descendant of Louis XIV, bringing aristocratic influence to its layout. This transformation established much of the castle's current appearance.
The residence was once home to nobility and continues to shape the village's identity through its classical architecture. The educational institution now housed here demonstrates how historical structures gain new meaning while remaining connected to their past.
The site is located southeast of Paris on Rue Robert-Schumann and functions as a school campus today. Access may be limited since the property operates as an educational facility.
A 17th-century nymphaeum remains embedded in the terrace wall below the castle. This small architectural feature reflects the garden design tastes favored by the nobility of that era.
