Baron James de Rothschild bought this magnificent château in the 19th century, an exquisite example of French architecture. The château features a stunning façade, beautiful gardens, and luxurious interiors. What is inside it, and how did the Rothschild family inherit it?
Situated approximately 30 miles outside Paris, the property is called Château Armainvilliers. It resides on land three times as big as New York’s Central Park. If you are lucky enough, you can own it for a cool 452 million dollars.
The castle was a medieval stronghold dating back to the 12th century and was partially destroyed during the French Revolution, according to The Rothschild Archive. It was formerly owned by the Rochefoucauld Doudeauville family and then three members of the Rothschild family until they sold it to the King of Morocco in the 1980s. It last traded hands in 2008 after the king’s death, when the son who inherited the property sold it for 218 million dollars to a Middle East–based buyer, who never utilized the property.
