The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le château actuel est acquis en 1907 par le père de Christian Dior puis vendu à la ville de Saint-Ouen, en 1933, afin d'y installer une "colonie scolaire", directement inspirée de l'architecture industrielle. Elle sera ouverte dès 1934. A cette époque, l'ensemble comprend le château originel, le bâtiment de la colonie proprement dite ainsi qu'une grande infirmerie appelée «la Sapinière». Les bâtiments sont construits en béton armé, granit et brique bicolore et sont couverts de toits en terrasse. Une pergola en béton armé assurait un accompagnement paysager de la façade de la colonie.

The present château was acquired in 1907 by Christian Dior's father and then sold to the town of Saint-Ouen in 1933 in order to establish a "school colony", directly inspired by industrial architecture. It was opened in 1934. At that time, the complex comprised the original château, the school colony building proper as well as a large infirmary called "la Sapinière". The buildings are constructed of reinforced concrete, granite and two-coloured brick and are covered with flat roofs. A reinforced concrete pergola provided landscaping accompaniment to the colony building's façade.
