Château du Verduron, 18th century castle in Marly-le-Roi, France.
The limestone and brick castle features a single square floor level, an attic space, and multiple decorative exterior elevations with slate roofing.
Initially owned by Louis Blouin, King Louis XIV's first valet, the castle underwent substantial development before 1726 and received additional structures throughout its existence.
The castle grounds contain ten sphinx sculptures installed during the 1867-1868 renovations, creating a ceremonial walkway through the park.
The property includes an orangerie, a basin, a greenhouse, and a spiraled staircase with wrought iron and sculptural decorations.
Writer Victorien Sardou incorporated architectural fragments from the Tuileries Palace in Paris into the castle's park during the late 19th century.
