Castles for sale Nancy, France

A listed chateau in the Nancy countryside, rebuilt by Georges Biet and decorated by Louis Guingot, members of the École de Nancy. The origins of the chateau go back to the 17th and 18th centuries. During the First World War, the entire central part of the building was destroyed, with the exception of the two corner towers. In the aftermath of the war, the edifice was rebuilt with the help of architect Georges Biet, who designed many of Nancy's residences in the Art Nouveau style associated with the École de Nancy. Louis Guingot, a painter, decorator and founding member of the same school, was commissioned to decorate the magnificent reception room. The property comprises four independent buildings. Two 18th-century lodges mark the entrance. To the right, former stables, garages and outhouses have largely been converted into guest rooms and a leisure area with a covered spa. The chateau in the centre has a T-shaped floor plan. Its central section, facades and roofs are listed in the French inventory of historic monuments. The surrounding grounds of around 2 hectares are planted with large trees and include an orchard.
