Château de Malmaison
The Château de Malmaison is a compact early 19th-century French château on the left bank of the Seine at Rueil-Malmaison, built up and landscaped as the residence of Empress Joséphine. It now houses a national museum and sits within formal gardens that historically included an orangery, greenhouse and extensive rose collections.

As it stood in 1810
What Château de Malmaison looked like in its prime.
A symmetrical, three-storey pale limestone corps de logis with paired end pavilions capped by steep slate roofs and tall chimneys. Tall, evenly spaced French windows and glazed doors line the ground floor; shallow pilasters and statuary stand on low plinths between bays. A small blue-and-gold entrance canopy shelters the central door. Forecourt of compacted gravel, clipped cone topiary and large potted plants lead to the house, with park trees rising behind the wings.
