Castle of Saint-Maurice-de-Rémens, 18th-century castle in Saint-Maurice-de-Rémens, France.
The castle features two main wings connected by a central body, with symmetrical architecture and large windows overlooking the surrounding park.
Claude Colabau de Rignieux, a former captain of the Bourbonnais regiment, constructed the castle in 1756 and later passed it to his nephew.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry spent his childhood summers at this castle, which influenced several passages in his literary works.
The castle remains closed to visitors while undergoing renovations for its transformation into a museum dedicated to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
During World War II, the castle served as a military hospital and later hosted French Air Force pilots, including the noted pilot Edmond Marin La Meslée.
