Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox historic building The Château Rothschild is a historic château in Boulogne-Billancourt near Paris, France.

History

The château was built in 1855 for banker James Mayer de Rothschild.[1] It was designed by architect Joseph-Armand Berthelin.[1] Guests included President Adolphe Thiers and Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau.[2]

It was inherited by James's son, Edmond James de Rothschild.[2] After Edmond's death in 1934, the Rothschild family no longer lived at the château, even though his daughter, Alexandrine de Rothschild, took care of the grounds surrounding it.[2]

During World War II, the château was taken over by the Kriegsmarine, the Nazi Navy.[2] After the liberation of France, it was used by American forces.[2] The Kriegsmarine and US forces also used another Rothschild residence, the Château de la Muette 3.5 km away on the edge of Paris.

It was acquired by Saudi Prince Khalid I Abdulaziz al-Ibrahim in 1986.[3][4]

The château was sold to French property developer Novaxia in 2016. After 37 years of neglect, the Château Rothschild will be restored, with work beginning in 2020.[5]
