Barnes Properties and Castles offers you the opportunity to acquire in Charente-Maritime (17), ideally located 10 minutes from Saintes, 45 minutes from the Île d'Oléron, and 30 minutes from Royan, this ISMH medieval castle, a major witness of the history of Saintonge. Dating back to the 14th century, the castle still features a fortified enclosure, surrounded by high walls pierced with arrow slits, supported by square and round towers, and surrounded by dry moats. Access to the enclosure is ensured by a double drawbridge leading to the majestic ogival door and its postern. In the inner courtyard, the main and outbuildings are backed against the wall. Of the three stair towers, two remain; the third leads only to the remarkable vaulted rooms in the basement of the now-destroyed South wing, as well as the keep. The main residence is immediately habitable and consists of 2 levels. On the ground floor: entrance, large living room of 60 m² with fireplace, small living room, dining room, kitchen. Upstairs, accessible by a spiral staircase and a wooden staircase, you will find no less than 6 bedrooms, a library, and 3 bathrooms. The second residence is also furnished and served as a reception area during events held on-site. The property extends over 1.04 hectares, including the enclosure, dry moats, and some adjacent plots. This castle, listed in the Supplementary Inventory of Historical Monuments, rescued from complete ruin by the current owners, is now waiting for a new enthusiast to take up the torch.
