CHATEAU BUILT FROM THE 15TH TO THE 20TH CENTURY, 120 KM FROM PARIS IN THE PERCHE REGION - Exceptional charm and character - 5 main buildings - 18 bedrooms - 2,500 m² built area - Southern Perche - 8 km from the A10 motorway exit - 20 hectares - Structural shell in good condition, interior fully requiring restoration. Fully listed Historic Monument. On the edge of a small village in the Perche region, 120 km from Paris and 8 km from the motorway, this chateau of exceptional charm consists of 5 main buildings dating from the 15th to the 20th century, on the site of a former chateau burned during the Hundred Years' War. There are two entrances. The first, on the village side, is through a tall and long wrought-iron gate leading to the former gatehouse residence, now converted into a grand salon. The second entrance, on the park side, passes through a tall crenellated gateway dominated by the imposing “water chateau” tower. The impressive richly decorated medieval gatehouse quickly appears after crossing the bridge spanning the canal, followed by the other courtyard buildings. The heterogeneity of this ensemble reflects the long history of the estate. The original square medieval chateau surrounded by moats was burned in the first half of the 15th century by the Earl of Salisbury, commander-in-chief of the English troops, while on his way to lay siege to Orléans. Rebuilt at the end of the 15th and beginning of the 16th century, the remaining parts of this medieval chateau are the gatehouse known as “Le Donjon” and the Saint-François Tower. This medieval chateau was incorporated in the 19th century into the ensemble formed by the other buildings through the destruction of one of its sides and the filling in of part of the moats connecting it to the “new” chateau. The main body of the current chateau is composed of 16th-, 17th-, and 18th-century buildings. A first pavilion forming a gatehouse residence attached to a gallery was built at the end of the 16th century and remodeled in the second half of the 17th century with the addition of two small pavilions. This ensemble was raised by one additional floor in the 18th century. The enclosure of the gatehouse residence to create a grand office gave it its final appearance. These buildings, together with the Louis XVI pavilion and the other outbuildings, form a U-shaped courtyard overlooking a splendid 20-hectare park, notably featuring a large 200-meter-long terrace overlooking a vast meadow on one side and separated from a woodland of beautiful mature deciduous trees on the other side by a canal. The park also includes sumptuous boxwood embroidery gardens and yew topiaries, as well as a grand avenue and a one-hectare vegetable garden. 5 main buildings: 1 - The “chateau” closest to the village square, known as “Le Pavillon du Bourg”, 16th, 17th, and 18th century. 2 - The gatehouse known as “Le Donjon”, 15th, 18th, and 20th century.
