Majestic castle from the early 17th century, largely restored in the heart of an intact baroque estate. Built on the banks of a river, this exceptional castle embodies the transition between medieval heritage and the emergence of French classical architecture. From this former stronghold, a remarkable 15th-century keep remains. In the early 17th century, the medieval ensemble was reinvented under the impetus of a great family from Poitou, giving rise to an elegant residence inspired by Henri IV with an H-shaped layout, heralding the Louis XIII style. Behind its sober façades animated with Renaissance decorations and trompe-l'œil effects, the castle boasts a coherent internal distribution. Organized around a grand staircase, it retains numerous original elements: French ceilings, stone floors and terracotta tiles, monumental fireplaces, enriched in the 18th century with refined parquet and marble, and then completed in the 19th century. Designed as a place for both representation and life, the ensemble stands out for the harmony of its volumes and the quality of its architecture, which is both simple and spectacular. The estate, structured as early as the 17th century, offers a remarkable landscaped setting: a water canal from the former moats, tree-lined perspectives, Renaissance-inspired flower beds, a kitchen garden, orchard, and woods. The outbuildings complete this ensemble with a vast orangery hosting receptions and events, stables, an old menagerie, and an impressive dovecote. This unique property, admirably preserved, offers a vivid reading of four centuries of history and constitutes a testament to architectural authenticity of rare value.This description has been automatically translated from French.
