Château d'Argeville
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Château d'Argeville is a château in the commune of Vernou-la-Celle-sur-Seine, Seine-et-Marne, France. Some elements of the château date from the 17th century, and those and parts of its grounds are listed as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture. The château itself, being partially destroyed, is not protected.[1]
Around 1700, the château had French gardens with hedged squares and crescents.[2]
The château was occupied during the last decades of his life by the exiled English politician Lord Bolingbroke (1678–1751), who wrote many of his works there.[3]
Joseph Charles Hippolyte Crosse (1826–1898), the French conchologist, lived in the château until his death there on 7 August 1898.[4]
