Mansion Château Aurélien in Fréjus
Avenue du Général d'Armées Jean Calliès 85, Fréjus
Villa Aurélienne - locally known as Château Aurélienne - is an 1880s Palladian-style villa built by Henri Lacreusette for industrialist James Crossman. It is located on a hill above the town of Fréjus on the Mediterranean Sea in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of southern France. The special features of the park, which covers more than 20 hectares, include its Mediterranean variety and a botanical garden. The château is also one of the few buildings in all of France that was influenced in this distinct form by Italian architect Andrea Palladio.
Fréjus is mainly a tourist seaside resort, but the town is also known for its numerous relics of the Roman period. Also in the park of the villa is the ruin of a Roman aqueduct.
Villa Aurélienne is the property of the city of Fréjus and serves as a cultural venue. The interior has been reconstructed in its original form. The centerpiece here is an atrium enclosed by a two-story colonnaded gallery. In addition, there is a three-flight staircase, original restored leaded glass windows and numerous marble floors. At times, the building is open to visitors. The park can be visited free of charge. Information on events and tour requests can be found on the villa's website for those interested.
