Juniper Hall

To the south of Mickleham is Juniper Hall, which at the end of the 18th century provided a place of refuge for French refugees fleeing the Revolution, including Duke Charles Maurice de Talleyrand (1754-1838), who was Foreign Minister of France and represented France at the Congress of Vienna, and the writer Germaine de Staël-Holstein (1766-1817), known as Madame de Staël, whose main work "De l'Allemagne" (1810-13) offered French people the long-standing Romantic idealized picture of the "German poet and thinker".
