The site’s natural configuration, both protective and commanding, gives the estate a rare sense of calm, privacy and permanence. Dating back to the late 13th century, first conceived as a fortified rural stronghold and progressively reshaped between the 15th and 17th centuries, the château now presents a remarkable architectural silhouette, distinguished by corbelled watchtowers, terraced levels following the natural relief, and a tower affirming its original defensive purpose. Offering approximately 600 sqm of living space, the residence is organised around a remarkable spiral staircase with wooden steps, preserved in exceptional condition and forming one of the keep’s most significant architectural features. Generous volumes, substantial walls and a naturally subdued atmosphere express the full strength and character of medieval architecture. Around a closed courtyard are arranged former stables, now converted into a caretaker’s house, outbuildings, an ancient chapel, a dovecote, a woodshed and the remains of a former windmill, together composing an estate of rare architectural coherence.
