Historical note on Le Château

Le Château was built in 1925, and was inspired by the 17th century Pavilion Henri IV at the Palace of Fontainebleau in France. It was the first of Middlebury's language dormitories, containing a library, a resident's suite, classrooms, offices, a salon, and a dining room, as well as student residences. Today, Le Château still houses the Department of French, while its classrooms, salon, and residential floors also serve a broader constituency, and its dining hall has been converted into a performance space.
