Château d'Argeville, Historical castle in Vernou-la-Celle-sur-Seine, France.

The Château d'Argeville is a stone castle featuring French gardens with clipped hedge squares and crescent shapes reflecting traditional design principles. The grounds display the classic composition of a French manor with organized exterior spaces.

Built in the 17th century for Monsieur Héron de Villefosse, the château kept French gardens with hedged squares and crescents around 1700. On 11 July 1986 the commons, the enclosure walls, the small farm gate and the entrance portal, together with the park and ornamental meadow, were inscribed as a monument historique. The partially preserved château itself is not protected.

An English politician found refuge here during his exile and used the time to write influential works on political thought. The property became a place where important intellectual ideas took shape during that period.

The château is a private property and cannot be visited; only the listed elements — the outbuildings, the boundary wall, the small farm gate and the entrance portal — fall under monument protection, while the partly ruined château itself is not protected. The park and ornamental meadow were inscribed on 11 July 1986. Views of the facade and grounds are from outside.

Joseph Charles Hippolyte Crosse (1826–1898), a French conchologist who studied molluscs, lived at the château until his death there on 7 August 1898. The sources record only his residence and death at the property, not what became of his collections.
