The Château de Bourron is a castle in Bourron-Marlotte, Seine-et-Marne, France.
History
The castle dates back to the 16th century, shortly after François de Sallard married Diane Clausse, whose father was Finance Secretary to Henri II and brought in a large dowry necessary for its construction.
In 1725, Polish King Stanisław Leszczyński was in exile in the castle.
In 1794, during the French Revolution, sans-culottes from Nemours went on a rampage and pillaged the castle.
Since 1878, the castle has been owned by the Montesquiou family.
