Chateau-sur-Mer, built in 1852 for William Shepard Wetmore, was home to three generations of the Wetmore family, embodying the wealth and lifestyle of the Gilded Age.
Once a lavish estate, Chateau-sur-Mer hosted grand events like debutante balls and even a picnic for 2,000 guests, reflecting its prominence in Newport society.
The mansion has gained renewed attention as a filming location for HBO's 'The Gilded Age,' highlighting its historical significance and architectural beauty.
Chateau-sur-Mer stands as a testament to the opulence of Newport's elite before the era of famous Vanderbilt mansions transformed the city's landscape.
