Château de Villejuif, 17th-century castle in Villejuif, France
The stone castle featured limestone walls, traditional mansard roofing, and included a guard house along with service buildings on its grounds.
Jean Duret, a captain in the Prince of Conti's regiment, purchased the estate in 1672 and built the new castle structure in 1680.
The castle became part of France's general cultural heritage inventory, representing the architectural evolution of noble residences in the Val-de-Marne region.
Some architectural elements remain visible at numbers 3 and 10 of Colonel Marchand Street, while the Paul Brousse Hospital now occupies the former farm grounds.
The castle premises contained a private family cemetery and hosted local judicial proceedings in its dependencies until 1845.
