About
The Château de La Celle-les-Bordes (French pronunciation: [ʃɑto d(ə) la sɛl le bɔʁd]) is a French Louis XIII style château located in the commune of La Celle-les-Bordes, near Rambouillet, in the Yvelines department in the Île-de-France region in northern France.
Built between 1610 and 1614 for Count Claude de Harville, it was acquired by the Duke of Uzès in 1870, also owner of the nearby Château de Bonnelles, who made it the centre of his hunting team, the "Rallye-Bonnelles", notably installing his pack of dogs in the vast kennel. The famous Duchess of Uzès then led the crew from 1878 until her death. After her, the castle belonged to her grandson, the Duke of Brissac.
The château is currently owned by Thierry Gobet who offers tours.
