Château de Monte-Cristo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Château de Monte-Cristo is the English garden-style country-house of the writer Alexandre Dumas, père built in 1846 by the architect Hippolyte Durand in Port-Marly, Yvelines, France. Short of money, Dumas had to sell the property in 1848. The abandoned château fell into disrepair by the 1960s. It was restored thanks to the patronage of King Hassan II of Morocco who financed the restoration of its Moorish room. Since 1994, it has been a public museum.
