Located in the heart of Saintonge Romane, just 30 minutes from the ocean and its beaches, this former 14th-century stronghold is truly a place of exception.
Listed in the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments since the late 1980s, the property benefits from protection on its most remarkable architectural features.
A fine example of preserved medieval architecture, the château is laid out as an irregular hexagonal enclosure with curtain walls rising over 12 meters high, pierced with arrow slits and partly crowned with a wall walk. The entire structure is surrounded by dry moats, once likely fed by a nearby stream.
To the south, the remains of an imposing square tower bear witness to the existence of a primitive keep.
Access is via a stone forecourt leading to two drawbridges: one defending the large ogival gate, the other leading to the postern.
The vast inner courtyard houses the main residence, where the medieval atmosphere has been carefully preserved. Ground floor: large entrance hall, spacious reception room with fireplace, dining kitchen, pantry, and lounge. First floor: master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, two bedrooms with shared shower room, two further bedrooms each with private shower room, a library, a study, and a large bedroom.
Beautiful vaulted cellars complete the ensemble.
The outbuildings, already converted for residential use, are perfectly suited for guest accommodation, a gîte, or to host family and friends. Ground floor: kitchen, living room, sanitary facilities, reception room, covered courtyard, and workshop. First floor: three bedrooms, two large rooms, and sanitary facilities.
Two magnificent vaulted cellars, located beneath the former keep, further enhance the property’s unique character.
Set on approximately one hectare of land, the château enjoys a verdant and peaceful environment.
A rare property, steeped in history, destined for lovers of medieval architecture, authenticity, and heritage.
