Château de Sucy-en-Brie, Classical French castle in Sucy-en-Brie, France

Château de Sucy-en-Brie is a classical French castle in the town of Sucy-en-Brie featuring a central building with two side pavilions, all built from cut stone and covered with mansard roofs topped in slate tiles. The structure follows the strict proportions of classical French architecture, forming a harmonious composition of three connected building elements.

Nicolas Lambert, who became president of the Chambre des comptes in 1671, ordered the present château built in 1660 to designs by François Le Vau, brother of Louis Le Vau. The old manor was demolished, leaving only its cellars, and the main building was finished in 1662. The Lambert family kept it until 1719, using it as a pleasure house while living in the Hôtel Lambert on Île Saint-Louis in Paris.

The château's name recalls its first owner, Nicolas Lambert, Sieur de Thorigny, who commissioned it in 1660; it is also called Château de Berc after its last owner. The Lambert family kept their main residence, the Hôtel Lambert on the Île Saint-Louis in Paris, and used Sucy as a pleasure house. Today the commune owns the building and it serves as a music conservatory.

The castle welcomes visitors for guided tours on the first Sunday of each month at 11:00, and groups can arrange tours on weekdays with advance notice. Visitors should plan their timing in advance since the opening schedule is limited and can vary by season.

The château is owned by the commune of Sucy-en-Brie and serves as a conservatory of music. Its name Château Lambert comes from Nicolas Lambert, Sieur de Thorigny, who commissioned it; the last owner gave it the name Château de Berc. The building stands at 1 Avenue Georges Pompidou, at the edge of the old town.
