Château de Bazeilles, Castle and historical monument in Bazeilles, France.

Château de Bazeilles is a castle in Bazeilles, France, featuring a central building with two extending wings and curved corners topped by a triangular pediment. Sculpted female figures decorate the pediment, and a neoclassical orangery with a curved facade sits nearby on the property.

Louis Labauche, a textile manufacturer, built this castle after receiving royal privileges in 1741. The property served as both a residence and the center of his cloth production business in the Sedan region.

The building is in the Louis XIV style, not baroque: the park facade carries a triangular pediment sculpted with female figures, and masks ornament the window keystones. Louis Labauche, a Sedan cloth manufacturer ennobled in 1769, built it as a statement of his standing in the drapery trade.

The castle stands at the edge of Bazeilles, toward Remilly-Aillicourt, inside a large park enclosed by gates. The entrance gates are themselves classified as historical monuments. The building was damaged by a major fire in 1989, so the visible structure includes a metal scaffolding and a grey corrugated metal roof over the right pavilion.

The neoclassical orangery on the grounds features an unusual curved facade that mirrors the convex shape of the main structure. This uncommon architectural choice reveals careful planning of how all buildings relate to each other on the property.
