castles with reception room for sale Picardie, France

One hour from Paris, in Oise, a 13th-century castle with tourism activities, seminars, and rental residence. The castle, built in the 13th century by the Count of Clermont, stands out for its location above the Oise valley. Constructed from dressed stone from Saint-Maximin, extracted from local quarries, it was originally a medieval fortress that has retained its right-angled plan and its three irregular round towers, which testify to its initial defensive function. Over the centuries, the castle has gone through many renovations, particularly under the impetus of the Madaillan de Lesparre family, who undertook significant restoration work between the 15th and 17th centuries. Henry IV, close to Jean de Madaillan, stayed there several times, as did Cardinal Odet de Coligny. Much later, as the residence of the Baron of Condé in the second half of the 19th century, the castle was transformed without losing its original character. The building has approximately 1,000 m² of living space spread over five levels: a basement, a ground floor, two floors, and attics. The ground floor houses three reception rooms, one of which is located in the former armory. The upper floors are now divided into four independent apartments, complemented by workspaces that combine residential life with professional activity. At the façade, a double stone staircase leads to an elevated terrace bordered by balustrades. The uniformly distributed windows, the steep slate roof, and the overall sobriety reflect the successive transformations that have successfully combined medieval austerity with classical harmony. The park, covering an area of about two hectares, shares part of its land in a co-ownership that includes a few villas without disrupting the coherence of the estate.This description has been automatically translated from French.
