Château de Bourron
History
The present château, which was built to replace a medieval 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.[1]
In 1725, Polish King Stanisław Leszczyński was in exile here.[1]
In 1794, during the French Revolution, sans-culottes from Nemours went on a rampage and pillaged the château.[1]
Since 1878 it has been owned by the Montesquiou family.[1]
In 2016, It was used for the filming location used for Louis' Castle in the first episode of Shopping King Louie.
