Château de la Mosson, 18th-century castle in Montpellier, France
The castle stretches across 16 hectares along the Mosson River, featuring a U-shaped main building with two extending wings and decorative gardens.
Joseph Bonnier, treasurer of the Estates of Languedoc, constructed this residence between 1723 and 1729, which was later dismantled following his son's death in 1744.
Nicolas Sébastien Adam created numerous exterior sculptures for the castle between 1724 and 1726, with several pieces now displayed in various locations across France.
The castle grounds remain closed to visitors in 2024 as the City of Montpellier develops rehabilitation plans for this classified historical monument.
The vestibule and music room stand as the last remaining original interior spaces of this once-grand estate that rivaled the gardens of Versailles.
