Château de l'Orgère, 20th century château in Rives, France.
The Château de l'Orgère stands near Saint-Valère church in central Rives, surrounded by two hectares of former barley fields.
Construction of the château began in 1912 but halted in 1914 due to World War I, leading to unfinished details and wartime looting.
Russian emigrants established a community in the château from 1924, creating their own library and orthodox chapel within the grounds.
The municipality acquired the property in 1984, but the building remains closed to visitors due to safety considerations.
The château served as a military training center in the 1930s for young Russian officers in exile after the revolution.
