Majestic castle from the early 17th century, largely restored in the heart of an intact baroque domain. Built at the edge of a river, this exceptional castle embodies the transition between medieval heritage and the emergence of classic French architecture. From this former fortress, 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 Henry IV featuring an H-shaped plan, heralding the Louis XIII style. Behind its sober facades animated with Renaissance decorations and trompe-l'oeil effects, the castle unfolds a coherent interior layout. Organized around a grand staircase, it preserves many original elements: French ceilings, stone floors and terracotta tiles, monumental fireplaces, enhanced in the 18th century with refined parquet and marbles, then completed in the 19th century. Designed as a place for both representation and living, the ensemble stands out for the harmony of its volumes and the quality of its architecture, both simple and spectacular. The estate, structured from the 17th century, offers a remarkable landscape setting: a water canal stemming from the former moats, tree-lined perspectives, Renaissance-inspired flowerbeds, a vegetable garden, orchard, and woods. The outbuildings complement this ensemble with a vast orangery hosting receptions and events, stables, an old menagerie, and an impressive dovecote. A unique property, admirably preserved, this castle offers a vivid reading of four centuries of history and constitutes a testimony of architectural rarity and authenticity.This description has been automatically translated from French.
