Chateau de Malmaison

Cultural and Institutional Buildings

The Chateau de Malmaison is a French country house about 15 kilometers west of Paris in Rueil-Malmaison, built in a mix of Renaissance and Empire styles. Empress Josephine de Beauharnais bought the then-dilapidated manor in April 1799 and rebuilt it into a celebrated estate with exotic gardens, and the house served as the headquarters of the French government from 1800 to 1802. Napoleon returned briefly to Malmaison after his defeat at Waterloo in 1815 before going into exile. A museum devoted to Napoleonic history opened on the estate in 1905, following a restoration by architect Pierre Humbert, and the chateau is now an important historical monument open to the public.
