Château Aurélien de Fréjus, Palladian villa in Fréjus, France.
The Château Aurélien rises on a hill northeast of the old town, featuring marble columns, limestone galleries, and marble floors with Greek friezes.
Built between 1886 and 1889 by architects Sylvain-Joseph Ravel and Henri Lacreusette for James Hiscutt Crossman, heir to an English brewing family.
This registered historical monument draws inspiration from the Palazzo Chiericati in Vicenza, reflecting the architectural principles of Palladian design in France.
The château stands within a 24-hectare park that contains botanical gardens and remains of the Roman aqueduct from Mons to Fréjus.
During World War II, the villa served as a military command post and later provided shelter for refugees evacuated from Fréjus-Plage.
