Cinderella's Château is where Cinderella, her late mother and father once lived. Although it was, once upon a time, a grand and stately building, the narrator revealed that it had "fallen into disrepair", for Cinderella's cruel and spiteful stepmother neglected to care for it following the death of Cinderella's father; preferring to squander the family fortune she inherited from her late husband on her daughters, Anastasia and Drizella.
