Château de Bourron


The Château de Bourron is a château in Bourron-Marlotte, Seine-et-Marne, France.

History

The present château, which was built to replace a mediaeval castle, dates back to the 16th century, shortly after François de Sallard married Diane Clausse, whose father was Finance Secretary to Henri II and brought in a large dowry which proved necessary for its construction.
In 1725, Polish King Stanisław Leszczyński was in exile here.
In 1794, during the French Revolution, sans-culottes from Nemours went on a rampage and pillaged the château.
Since 1878 it has been owned by the Montesquiou family.
