Castles for sale Luxe, France

An impressive 15th-17th century listed castle, cradle of a prestigious French family, set in 2 8 ha of grounds overlooking its village in the south-west of France. Perched high up, the buildings form a square open on the south side towards an esplanade supported by a 11th century wall slightly below, overlooking the village. The entrance is located in the north wing. A pedestrian entrance and a carriage gate lead through a 'châtelet' (gate-tower), which has retained its drawbridge above a village lane. The U-shaped main building, topped with a Mansart-style slate roof, stands to the west, whilst the outbuildings are spread out to the east and form a right angle to the south, the section at the end having a slate pavilion roof similar to the entrance gate-tower. As you enter the courtyard, there is another outbuilding below to the left, facing north-south, which is hidden behind a row of trees. Not far from the entrance, on the right, the round opening of an underground cistern resembles a large well.
