Château de la Houssaye-en-Brie, Medieval castle in La Houssaye-en-Brie, France.
Château de la Houssaye-en-Brie is a stone castle in Île-de-France built with two round towers and a central pavilion as its core structure. Parkland and woodland areas surround the entire property, creating a layered landscape around the main buildings.
The castle was built in the late 13th century and underwent extensive renovations after General Augereau acquired it in 1801. Allied bombing during World War II damaged a tower and the left wing, marking a significant turning point in the building's condition.
During post-war years, the castle hosted numerous French artists including actress Arletty and playwright Sacha Guitry under its restored roof.
The castle opens for guided tours, events, and overnight stays, with access through Place Maréchal-Augereau in the village. This central plaza serves as your main point of entry to the grounds.
A German garrison occupied the castle during the war and left marks on the walls and rooms that remain visible. This occupation period left a lasting imprint on the building's appearance and structure.
