| From the moment you pull into the dogwood-lined driveway at Le Château, your one-of-a-kind experience begins. Set on 32 beautiful acres in northern Westchester County, Le Château first offers a spectacular view of the Hudson River Valley. Then, it's on to the historic 20-room mansion, where timeless grace beckons. Built in 1907 by J. P. Morgan as a gift to his friend and former minister, Dr. William S. Rainsford, the elegant mansion's brick and stone exterior would be nearly impossible to duplicate today. The warm and welcome entrance leads into a rich atmosphere of rooms paneled in chestnut, cherry and oak. Hand-hewn woodwork, chestnut beams, grand staircases and cozy stone fireplaces all set the scene for an elegant experience in fine dining. | ![]() |

Whether you're enjoying the sunset from one of Le Château's terraces, or attending an outdoor party or wedding, you'll feel like a special guest. In spring and summer, lovely flowers and formal gardens add a rainbow of color to the stately stone walls and brick walkways. In the fall, the deep crimsons and ambers of the autumn leaves provide a warm backdrop. |
