castle for sale Gontaud-de-Nogaret, France

Built at the end of the Renaissance in the Agenais region, this brick and stone château overlooks the Garonne Valley. It has preserved the essence of its original architecture, including its remarkable grand staircase and some unique elements of its late 17th-century interior decor. Four centuries later, it awaits a new owner to write the next chapter of its history.The estate extends over 5 hectares, including 4 hectares of cultivated agricultural land. The built structure includes the lordly part of the château, overlooking an east-facing terrace, and an entrance pavilion that once featured a drawbridge.On the noble floor, nearly 500 m² of reception rooms are arranged in a row: an old great room of 160 m², two former salons of 80 m² each, and two 40 m² rooms located in the corner pavilions. At the center of the composition, the grand staircase leads to a complete vaulted basement, while the upper floor includes an unfinished room. An adjoining apartment also offers about 50 m² of living space.The history of this château begins in the late 13th century when a fortified place was erected on a promontory to control the valley. The territory successively came under English and French domination until the end of the Hundred Years' War.At the end of the 16th century, the fortress was dismantled to make way for a more comfortable stately residence. This ambitious lordly construction, characteristic of the reign of Henry IV, stands out for its mannerist architecture: diamond-pointed dressed stone framed mullioned windows, rigorous symmetry, and skillful composition.Under the reign of Louis XIV, the lands were granted marquisate status, and the château received a very refined interior decor. Some remnants of this remain, notably a hooded fireplace and a vaulted ceiling painted with a fresco depicting the goddess Flora, attributed to the school of Nicolas Poussin.Seized during the Revolution, the château was forgotten until 1818, when a demolition campaign was launched. Fortunately interrupted, it only took away the top level. In the 19th century, the old lordly residence even served as a tobacco drying house.Today, the château awaits a major restoration. Its volumes, high ceilings, monumental staircase, and the remnants of its decorations still bear witness to its peak period. Its graceful and orderly architecture offers remarkable material for a revival project, whether it is a private residence or another use compatible with the place.Are you inspired and ready to discover this château?
