Château de Montceaux[edit]
Ruins of the château
Montceaux is known for the former château, which Henri II gave to Catherine de' Medici in 1556, was her earliest building project. The building consisted of a central pavilion housing a straight staircase, and two wings with a pavilion at each end. Catherine wanted to cover the alley in the garden where Henry played pall-mall, an early form of croquet. For this commission, Philibert de l'Orme built her a grotto set on a base made to look like natural rock, from which guests could watch the games while taking refreshments. The work was completed in 1558 but has not survived.[1] Given by Henri IV to Marie de' Medici, the château ceased to be used as a royal residence after 1640, and had fallen into ruin by the time it was demolished by revolutionary decree in 1798.[2] Some ruins remain, a chapel and the buildings of the forecourt, transformed into private dwellings; parts of the east wing are farm buildings.[3]
The château is listed as a Monument historique since 2005 by the French Ministry of Culture.[4]
Demographics[edit]
Inhabitants are called Monticellois.
