Orphelinat Saint-Philippe de Meudon, Cultural heritage monument in Meudon, France.

The Saint-Philippe Orphanage spans across 14 hectares, featuring two main structures: the Château and the Prieuré, both constructed in neo-Gothic style.

Marie Brignole Sales, Duchess of Galliera, established the orphanage in 1888, dedicating her fortune to charitable works after losing her three children.

The institution transformed from its original purpose as an orphanage into an educational center, now including a college and professional high school.

The Château contains two reception halls that accommodate 260 people for events, while the Prieuré offers a dining space for up to 140 guests.

During World War I, the facility operated as a military hospital, treating approximately 7,000 wounded soldiers and later commemorating 190 fallen residents.
