The Château de Maintenon is a historic castle located in Maintenon, France. Originally built as a fortress in the 12th century, it gained prominence when King Louis XIV of France purchased it for his second wife, Madame de Maintenon, in 1675. The château features a mix of architectural styles and includes beautiful gardens and an aqueduct designed by Vauban. Today, it is a historical monument open to the public, offering a glimpse into French history and engineering achievements. Visitors can explore the castle, its gardens, and a school museum known as the Maison royale de Saint-Louis. The aqueduct is a remarkable engineering feat that still functions.
