13th March 2013

Built in the early 1900's the Chateau housed and protected 147 Jewish families during WW11.
It became their home, SCHOOL, in fact everything to them.
Sadly the Chateau was destroyed by fire in 1985 and today remains a complete ruin.

A short history - http://www.ajpn.org/sauvetage-Chateau-de-Chaumont-205.html

Nothing in comparison to some PBasers but I hit the 1,000,000th visit today.

Congrats on your hits. I must check mine out. How wonderful to hide those Jewish families during the war. And such a pity the building burnt down

The building looks a sad sight now,It is such a pity these old buildings with such history fall into a state of disrepair.

With so much history here, it's a crying shame that this building wasn't renovated after the fire. Excellent capture Chris! Congrats on being so popular!!!! :))
