Origin and history

The former castle of Vaujours, now occupied by the Fénélon school, is a building located in the commune of Vaujours, in the Seine-Saint-Denis. This monument, partially protected by an order of 15 October 1974, retains notable architectural elements such as the vestibule, the interior staircase with its wrought iron ramp, as well as facades and roofs. Its exact location, although documented, remains subject to an approximate location, with an accuracy considered satisfactory.

The castle, owned by a private company, illustrates the evolution of aristocratic buildings in Île-de-France, often converted into schools or public institutions over the centuries. Although the available sources do not specify its exact origin or first owners, its listing as Historic Monuments underscores its heritage importance. The protected elements, such as the living room and dining room with their decor, bear witness to an architectural and artistic heritage preserved despite successive transformations.
