Château de Vitry-sur-Seine, 18th century French royal castle in Vitry-sur-Seine, France
The castle featured classical French architecture with a grand entrance gate, paved courtyard, and iron-gated park designed by architect Robert de Cotte.
Claude-François Paparel, treasurer of Louis XIV's wars, commissioned the construction of the castle in 1708 before losing his possessions due to political changes.
The castle grounds included agricultural buildings such as stables, barns, and granaries that supported the local farming activities of the region.
During the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, a section of the castle served as a hospital for wounded soldiers from the siege of Paris.
The castle was demolished in 1912 after residents voted against converting it into a town hall, with only two street names remaining as evidence of its existence.
