Château de Nandy

In the seigneury of Nandy, in the Seine-et-Marne, a first wooden manor was built under the Carolingians, followed by a stone castle under the Capetians, replaced between the 15th and 16th centuries by a new château built by the L'Hospital family, who held the seigneury for more than two centuries. Other owners included the Pommeuse and La Vieuville families and the Abbey of Saint-Denis.

The present building is due to a descendant of the L'Hospital family, François-Marie, Duke of Vitry, who rebuilt it almost entirely from the 1660s after damage in the Wars of Religion. Classical in inspiration, it has a very ordered south façade alternating brick and stone, recalling the nearby châteaux of Fontainebleau and Fleury-en-Bière. It was restored in the early 19th century by the Marquis de Perthuis.
