CastleTreves cunault (49) Price : $733,900
A listed medieval tower in the heart of Anjou, the building stands in a remarkable site on the road along the banks of the Loire between Saumur and Angers. This tower-keep combines the medieval defensive model at 30 meters high, its walls pierced with gun arches, with the more residential one which opens to the light with rooms with superb ribbed vaults, tall windows with thick grilles overlooking the Loire, and cushioned seats. The promontory forming a vast terrace overlooking the neighboring church and the Loire, is joined by a climb of steps cut into the rock at the foot of which we come across the entrance to an old troglodyte refuge with its bread oven. At the level of this terrace, a perron staircase accesses the tower served on the 5 levels and the roof terrace, by a superb spiral staircase. The tower appears on the 1862 list, and has been classified as a Historic Monument since 1904.

The fortress deteriorated, it was abandoned, and in 1750 John de Stapleton, a rich Irish merchant close to his king, bought it for 510,000 pounds and had the rest of the fortress buildings demolished, with the exception of the Keep Tower. , which belongs to the family of tower-residences from the end of the Middle Ages, such as the Tour de Vincennes near Paris.
