Listed château (ISMH) dating back to the 13th century. It was redesigned between the 15th and 17th centuries. It harmoniously blends medieval elements with influences from the Empire and Renaissance styles. The current owners have meticulously restored the architectural details, enhancing them with the use of historic materials.

A picturesque driveway, flanked by two magnificent towers, leads to a stunning landscaped park featuring a variety of tree species, including majestic Montpellier maples. The grounds also include an inviting pool area (15 x 5.5 m) with a modern fountain and stately plane trees that add a unique contrast and special charm to the estate.

The ground floor welcomes you with an impressive Louis XIII door opening into a vestibule. A corridor leads to a cozy summer salon with vaulted ceilings and a fully equipped kitchen offering views and direct access to the garden. Additionally, there is a fitness room with a shower and sauna, three bedrooms, a remarkable wine cellar, and various outbuildings.

A broad, majestic stone staircase ascends to the first floor, where an elegant gallery connects the various reception rooms. A charming salon with a rare 17th-century wooden fireplace and a French coffered ceiling serves as the centerpiece. Adjacent is an impressive library with a fireplace, which is said to have been the room where Cardinal Richelieu once stayed. On the opposite side of the salon, a large, light-filled Louis XVIII bedroom features an ensuite bathroom equipped with a vanity, bathtub, and separate toilet.

Returning to the gallery, you’ll find a rare dining room with double vaults and an adjoining fully equipped kitchen. In the same wing, there are three additional bedrooms, one of which is located in a corner tower dating back to the 13th century, as well as a bathroom. On this level, there is also a small TV lounge (formerly an antechamber) that subtly offers a view of the main staircase.

From this staircase, the gentle steps continue to the second floor, which consists of two very large bedrooms, several additional rooms, and attics with impressive ceiling heights.

The property also includes an independent two-room apartment with an upper floor ready for conversion, offering numerous possibilities for customization and enhancement.

The château features central oil heating and is connected to the public sewer system.

An exceptional piece of French cultural history, this property once hosted King Louis XIII, Cardinal Richelieu, and possibly Emperor Napoleon, retaining its historical brilliance to this day.

The facades, roofs of the château, and the two entrance towers are listed in the inventory of historical monuments.
