Karl Lagerfeld's neoclassical property, known as "the villa outside Paris," was sold at auction on June 17, 2025, in Louveciennes, France. The 600 m² mansion, built in the 19th century, sits on a 2-hectare park and includes amenities like guest houses, a library, a pool with a pool house, and a tennis court.
The fashion designer acquired the house in 2010, using it for receptions and creative inspiration. Despite its size, Lagerfeld reportedly only spent one night there, primarily using it for professional activities.
The auction started at a reserve price of €4.635 million. After a modest bidding process, the property was sold to a foreign buyer for €4.685 million. This sale signifies the end of an era for this iconic property, a testament to the fashion icon's legacy.
