Château d'Hennemont, Medieval manor in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France.

The Château d'Hennemont stands at the highest point between Mareil-Marly and Saint-Germain-en-Laye forests, featuring a bicolored facade of brick and limestone.

Built in 1907 for pharmacist Henri Canonne on the site of a medieval priory destroyed during the Hundred Years' War by Edward Plantagenet in 1346.

The Gothic room displays decorative elements typical of early 20th-century French bourgeois residences, with double doors opening directly onto the garden.

The château functions as part of the Lycée International de Saint-Germain-en-Laye since 1951, with restricted access to its historical structures and grounds.

The main staircase features a helical stone structure that takes direct inspiration from the Leonardo da Vinci-designed staircase at Château de Chambord.
