Castiglione was a Téméraire-class 74-gun ship of the line of the French Navy.
Career
Ordered on 4 January 1807, Castiglione was one of the ships built in the various shipyards that the First French Empire captured in Holland and Italy. The Empire used the shipyards in a crash programme to rebuild the French Navy.
The French surrendered Castiglione to Austria at the fall of Venice on 20 April 1814. An accidental fire on 14 September destroyed her.[1]
