Château de Motteux, Renaissance castle in Marolles-sur-Seine, France.

The Château de Motteux stands at the end of an oak-lined avenue, featuring three slate-covered towers surrounded by a preserved moat and outer courtyard walls.

Construction of the castle began in 1569 under architect Jean de Brosse, and in 1661 it was acquired by Jean de La Barde, who became Marquis of Marolles.

The castle represents the evolution of French nobility residences, combining defensive elements with refined architectural features characteristic of the Renaissance period.

The castle offers 240 square meters of reception space and accommodations for 45 guests, making it suitable for events and ceremonies throughout the year.

During the late 19th century, sections of outbuildings were transformed into stables near the northern wing and a new residence near the southern wing.
