The Château de Condé is a private castle in Condé-en-Brie in the department Aisne in the region of Hauts-de-France.
The castle is build around 1200.
The castle, still enclosed around a square courtyard, was itself surrounded by walls that extended as far as two buildings from this period: the “porterie” to the west and the “capitainerie” to the east, the former home of the captain of the guards, beneath which were located the prisons, the heavy door and impressive locks of which still remain. Numerous underground passageways, some of which could still be used, linked the various buildings along the river.
The château was sequestered and occupied by the military from 1711 to 1719, and was in a very poor state of repair when it was bought by Jean-François Leriget de La Faye.
