"Clos des Fées" (Farm of the Fairies),
Saint-Jouin-Bruneval, Seine-Maritime, France,
Named after a former nunnery the Castle became one of the hottest meeting places of fine society. It was a convent school for girls from the 1930s to the 1970s, but deteriorated over the years until it was bought by the town of Saint-Jouin-Bruneval.
There are plans for the property to become part of a new project for the small coastal community, which is very close to the port of Le Havre. Several apartments are to be built in the château, along with other facilities in consultation with the citizens. The goal is to preserve the silhouette of the dominant main part and to make the interior "contemporary.”
