listed castles for sale France

In central France, in the Bourbonnais bocage, A listed 14th- and 17th-century farmhouse château with a riding arena, lake, and meadows, on 28 ha. The farmhouse château, a listed building (Monument Historique), is laid out around a large square courtyard bordered by four ranges of buildings. Two wings of service buildings extend the south side and form an open forecourt, reached over a bridge spanning a moat. A square porch pavilion of exposed rubble stone pointed in lime, with a carriage entrance and a wooden pedestrian door, marks the access to the property. The imperial roof has slopes covered alternately in fishscale tiles and flat tiles, with a slate bell-turret above. This entrance evokes the history of the site. Through the pavilion, a keep of exposed rubble stone under Bourbonnais flat tiles comes into view along its axis. The wings of the house repeat the same architectural style, with towers and wooden galleries, open or closed. Stone dormers in the roofs and Burgundy stone surrounds to the doors and openings add to the overall architectural coherence. The house has turrets and bartizans, and a large round tower at its south end houses the chapel. A small bell-turret and a cross top the tower's roof. Around the main house, several outbuildings remain from the former agricultural use of the site: a mill, a sheep shed, a henhouse, a barn, and a kennel. Some of these buildings are now used as a stable and a garage. There is also a riding arena. The courtyard and the areas around the buildings are landscaped with gravel drives, low dry-stone walls, and lawns with potted olive trees and shrubs.

A medieval and Renaissance castle, listed as a historic monument. On the edge of the village, facing the fields, the castle occupies a central position within the property, at the site of a 11th-century fort that has since disappeared. The southwest part consists of a tower and an entrance porch, where traces of the former drawbridge from the 15th century are still visible. The courtyard facade was built in 1570 for Antoine d’Oiselay, by the architect Hugues Sambin, both local figures. An important transformation campaign carried out in the early 19th century by the architect Marnotte for the family of Magnoncourt has given the whole its current configuration, notably with an elevation and new interior arrangements. The wall paintings in the honor salon date from the 1980s and were created by students from an art school. The building has an L-shaped plan, with a medieval round tower in the southwest and a square tower in the northeast. An outbuilding is located to the north and communicates with it through a passage at the lower level. Raised to six levels, the building includes a semi-buried level occupied by cellars and old kitchens, as well as a final level of attics. Built in the 1970s, the outbuilding, raised to three levels, was intended for a school. Its converted attics house a former cinema hall.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Ref. 4397 : 14th C. Listed medieval Castle for sale, in Charente-Maritime Department The property is located in the heart of Saintonge Romane in the Charente-Maritime department. This 14th century medieval château (listed ISMH) is a former stronghold steeped in history and authenticity. Close to the A10 motorway and Saintes train station, this property is easily accessible from the capital. Jeanne de Parthenay inherited the land of Nieul in 1370, and her husband, Jean Chaudrier, an ancestor of Ronsard, built this fortified castle. Mayor of La Rochelle, he is famous for having delivered the town from the English thanks to a ruse. In the 1550s, the lords of Nieul followed the ideas of Calvin. In 1573 and 1574, Protestant worship took place here. From 1630 onwards, there were many co-lords until 1720, when the castle reverted to Gabriel Limousin. The château was sold as national property in 1793, and divided between three farmers. Since 1972, it has undergone extensive restoration. The castle features irregular polygonal walls with projecting buttresses at the corners of the curtain walls, reminiscent of the military architecture of the 13th and 14th centuries. The curtain walls, which are more than 12 metres high, were crowned by a parapet walk, which can still be seen on the facades of the two square towers. In the inner courtyard, the dwellings and outbuildings are set against the wall. Two of the three stair towers remain, the third only leading to the vaulted basement rooms. The property is accessed via two drawbridges over the moat, which has now been drained, one leading to the ogival gate and the other to the postern. And there you discover this magnificent ensemble that cannot leave you indifferent. The charm of the place is immediately apparent. Many events have been organised in this unique jewel, including concerts, heritage classes for children, exhibitions, night shows, films and short films. The château complex, covering around 700 sqm, comprises two main buildings. An habitable dwelling, fully furnished with period and stylish furniture, built over two levels. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, a vestibule, a large lounge with its monumental fireplace, a second lounge, dining room and kitchen. The 1st floor has parquet flooring throughout and comprises a landing, a library, 6 bedrooms and 3 shower and toilet rooms. The outbuildings have been converted into living quarters, ideal for a tourist activity, and are sold fully furnished with period furniture. The building is also built on two levels. On the ground floor: a reception area, a patio, a refectory, a professionally equipped kitchen, a shower room, a bathroom and sanitary facilities.

Overlooking the village at the gateway to the Cévennes, this listed Historic Monument ranks among the most remarkable historic estates in the Gard region. Originally built on medieval foundations dating from the 14th century and extensively remodelled during the 17th and 18th centuries, it possesses the rare distinction of having remained in the same family for nearly seven centuries. Set within more than seven hectares (17 acres) of enclosed grounds, the estate perfectly combines the elegance of a grand aristocratic residence with the richness of an exceptional landscaped heritage. Designed in the English style, the park features sweeping lawns, majestic century-old Cedars of Lebanon, ginkgo trees, historic bamboo groves, a traditional kitchen garden and ornamental gardens. Its remarkable hydraulic features include a monumental water wheel (noria) and an elegant 17th- and 18th-century nymphaeum, while a Palladian-inspired swimming pool blends discreetly into this setting of rare harmony. Offering approximately 1,100 sq m (11,840 sq ft) of living accommodation across four levels, the château eloquently reflects several centuries of architectural evolution. Its magnificent Italian-style staircase, richly decorated with stucco work and mythological bas-reliefs, is regarded as one of the finest examples of its kind in Languedoc. A succession of grand reception rooms reveals generous proportions, abundant natural light and beautifully preserved period interiors, while the formal dining room retains its early 18th-century Italian frescoes. The principal drawing room houses an exceptionally rare panoramic wallpaper by the celebrated Réveillon manufactory, official supplier to the Court of Versailles, preserved in an outstanding original condition. The lower levels reveal the château's medieval origins through vaulted cellars, historic kitchens, a Renaissance laundry room and an impressive collection of original service areas. Extending to more than 1,850 sq m (19,910 sq ft), the outbuildings include a former silk mill converted into an elegant reception hall, an orangery, a traditional silkworm house (magnanerie), a library housed within one of the towers, stables and an 18th-century gatekeeper's house, together offering exceptional scope for a wide range of prestigious residential, cultural or hospitality projects. Our Opinion This estate unquestionably belongs among the finest historic châteaux in the Gard. Very few properties combine such an unbroken family history stretching back to the Middle Ages, architecture of such remarkable integrity, interiors of exceptional quality and landscaped grounds of this scale. The harmonious balance between the grandeur of the château, the remarkable heritage value of its outbuildings and the beauty of its gardens gives the estate an outstanding identity, making it one of the region's most distinguished historic properties. The estate also enjoys an exceptionally privileged location. It lies just thirty minutes from Nîmes and its TGV high-speed rail station, forty-five minutes from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Pont du Gard, and less than one hour from Montpellier, Arles and Avignon. At the heart of one of France's richest regions for both historic heritage and contemporary culture, it is within easy reach of internationally renowned institutions including Carré d'Art in Nîmes, LUMA Arles, MO.CO Montpellier and the Fondation Maeght. The private airfield of Alès-Deaux, only fifteen minutes away, further enhances its accessibility. A comprehensive and recent restoration, carried out with unwavering respect for authentic materials and the spirit of the property, has restored the estate to its full splendour while seamlessly incorporating the standards of contemporary comfort.

In the middle of the village, on the corner of two streets, the property is located in a small, tranquil valley, which is within immediate proximity to schools, a local shop and a bar-tobacconist’s, while, behind its stone wall and tall wrought-iron gates, it is articulated around a main courtyard extended, in the back, by an L-shaped garden featuring a swimming pool, a barn and an outbuilding. Meticulous and romantic in appearance, with a subtly integrated swimming pool, the garden has been decorated with a number of statues and stone benches, delicately placed among the wisteria and flowerbeds, whereas a chicken coop has been cleverly concealed at one end of the garden and, to the right of the courtyard, a beautiful 19th-century orangery abuts the neighbouring property and is currently used as a garage.

Réf.4802 : Chateau listed as a Historic Monument and its small chateau in Burgundy, in the heart of the Nièvre The château is situated in Burgundy, in the heart of the Nièvre region, between Nevers and Château-Chinon, on the outskirts of a small town of 900 inhabitants. Formerly the seat of a major medieval seigneury, the town developed on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Aron valley. The Nivernais Canal forms a loop within which the estate is situated. The Aron flows below. It is built on high ground and enjoys a magnificent view over the Nièvre countryside. The Morvan Regional Nature Park is nearby, a preserved natural area. The château is a 30-minute drive from Nevers and a 2 hour 40 minute drive from Paris. There is an aerodrome in Nevers, and a helicopter can land in the château grounds. The property comprises a 1,200 sqm château and a smaller 800 sqm château. THE CHATEAU : The château is built on a rectangular plan, over four storeys, with a slate gable roof. On the south-west façade, one can make out a former imposing chapel, now connected to the interior of the château, covered by a hipped roof, with two large pointed-arch windows. The main entrance is situated in the centre of a tall, projecting tower, spanning six storeys, topped by a hipped roof and housing a listed spiral staircase. The north-west façade, overlooking the terrace, is rendered in lime, featuring numerous mullioned windows in the larger sections and high-set dormer windows. The window frames are made of limestone. The south-east façade, offering a beautiful view of the Nièvre countryside, also features numerous windows, some of which are in a more classical 17th-C. style. A two-storey turret links the former chapel to the château. On the second and third floors there are twelve bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and wardrobe, ranging in size from 12 to 51 sqm. Beneath the roof of the former chapel lies a large 50 sqm study featuring a beautiful roof structure shaped like an upturned ship’s hull. Throughout the château, there are numerous preserved and restored architectural features, including floors, fireplaces, wood panelling, ceilings, and more. The interiors are very harmonious, of high quality, and perfectly respect this historic residence. THE SMALL CHATEAU : This is a 17th-C. building that originally housed outbuildings and large double-height stables. It has a rectangular layout over three storeys, plus an attic, and is covered with a slate Mansard roof. The main façade on the north-west side features a slight projection at its centre, with a pediment at the top, as well as at the ends, framed by stonework. The façades are lime-plastered. The interior surface area of the small château is approximately 800 sqm. THE 13TH-C. DEFENCE TOWER : This military defence tower has been converted into a self-contained flat. On the ground floor is a living room featuring antique terracotta tiles and a French-style ceiling. The tower contains various works by the designer and sculptor Pierre-Marie le Jeune, including a striking metal fireplace. A small kitchen has also been fitted out. Upstairs, there is a beautiful bedroom with a ‘sculpted bed’ and a glass ceiling revealing the magnificent roof structure, as well as a very contemporary bathroom with a glass bathtub. LAND : The park covers just over 12.3 acres. Around 1830, the landscape architect LAVENNE de CHOULOT designed an English-style park. It is through this park that one enters the estate. Heading south, we pass through a woodland with beautiful bridle paths that lead us to the edge of the Canal du Nivernais. From there, skirting the defence tower via a stone tunnel, we reach what was once the old kitchen garden, situated below the château’s terrace. Under the impetus of the current owners, this former kitchen garden has been transformed into a contemporary garden which has been awarded the ‘remarkable garden’ label. Water features have been created, resembling shattered fragments in which the sky and the château’s façade are reflected. Magnificent undulating rows of boxwood evoke the Nivernais bocage. This remarkable garden is bordered by a private canal running parallel to the Canal du Nivernais. Finally, a small French-style garden has been created on the upper terrace between the château and the 13th-C. tower. The views are magnificent, both from the lower garden towards the chateau terraces and from the upper gardens towards the Aron valley and the landscapes of the Nivernais countryside. This château is a truly historic family estate. Its size, location, surroundings, gardens and history make it a truly exceptional property. The high-quality restoration, which has been carried out with respect for the site’s history, means that a large family could move in immediately.

Just 8 km from Angoulême and its high-speed rail station, the Château de Balzac enjoys a privileged location in a protected and easily accessible environment. Listed as a historical monument, it was the residence of Jean-Louis Guez de Balzac, the 17th-century writer and academician. Its history, architecture, and remaining period features give it a truly unique character. The main building offers nearly 1,000 m² of living space. It includes vast reception rooms, a remarkable 18th-century oval salon, a vestibule adorned with ancient frescoes, as well as numerous rooms that have retained their fireplaces, wood paneling, and parquet floors. The ship's hull-shaped roof structure is also one of the château's most remarkable features. Outside, the monumental colonnade structures the courtyard and gives the whole a distinctive identity. The outbuildings, including former stables, barns, and service buildings, offer numerous possibilities for conversion. The estate extends over approximately 15 hectares with a wooded park, bridle paths, woods, an old wash house, a fishpond, and a canal, all bordered by the Charente River. Preservation work has been carried out over the years on the roofs, facades, outbuildings, and some of the historic decorations. The interior of the main house remains to be fully restored.

A listed castle, once belonging to the Joyeuse counts, in 7 ha of parklands 2½ hours from Paris and Brussels in a region known as Argonne-Ardennaise. The geographic location of Grandpré castle, standing on a rocky spur, was already an advantage in medieval times. In a dominant position, looking out over the Argonne region towards the roads through the Champagne countryside, it was one of the border areas essential to the young kingdom of France. The county, divided since the Crusades, was gradually reunited until it fell into the hands of a powerful character, Louis-de-Joyeuse, chamberlain at the court of Louis XII. Supporter of the Catholic League, his heir, Claude-de-Joyeuse, amassed spoils and fortune in the 17th century, thus enabling him to embellish the estate and leave his mark on the surrounding buildings: the church and other buildings necessary to the inhabitants of the county. Distinguishing themselves from many of their contemporaries, the Joyeuse counts made their mark through military careers (Marshals of France and Lieutenant-Generals of the king’s armies) and followed Louis XIV. It was during 1685 that major works were carried out (large appartements, stables, etc.) and financed courtesy of the titles and offices acquired by members of the Joyeuses family following their military successes during the Wars of Spanish Succession around 1700. Marriages arranged with the large families in the Champagne region did the rest. However, despite a well-founded land heritage, lineage strategies proved too fragile and the estate gradually became divided in the 18th century. Furthermore, the estate was little occupied prior to the fall of the monarchy in 1792. It was requisitioned by General-Dumouriez, a famous republican hero following the Valmy victory against the Austrians. He settled his general quarters there prior to it becoming a hospital set up for the revolutionary armies. Despite a token show of renovation under the First Empire and during the Restoration era, a lack of constant upkeep led to a fire that started in the gatehouse and the destruction of the castle in 1834. Only one pavilion was restored, it now forms the current castle. An outstanding collection of outbuildings align the street going up the hill. A monumental pavilion, in a central recess, provides access to the outbuilding courtyard. The castle and its parklands are then reached by passing under the semi-circular arched porchway of the gatehouse.

A Neo-Gothic chateau, listed as a Historical Monument & sold furnished, with its outbuildings & grounds, on nearly 15 ha, 15 km from Le Mans. Edified on the slope of a hill, Le Mans extends to the north of the property, past the woods, while behind tall pillars, the property is accessible via a tarmac driveway bordered by tall trees and flanked by an entrance pavilion, which houses the caretaker’s residence. Advancing through the landscaped grounds provides views, on one side, of the chateau’s symmetrical northern façade, whereas, arriving at the top of the hill, several outbuildings constructed in the 19th century can be seen set back from the chateau. They specifically include the orangery, today converted into a guesthouse, which faces the chateau’s southern façade on the other side of the courtyard, while, to the west, at a distance from the buildings -- on the site of the rose garden and its pools as shown in Edouard André's original plans -- a swimming pool has been added. As for the grassy grounds, they lead to a pond below, which reflects the tall trees’ foliage, whereas, following on from there, the walls of the former vegetable garden, where a tennis court has been created, close the property off from the outside. The chateau, listed as a regional Historical Monument, was edified in 1844 in a Neo-Gothic style, while its plaster-coated exteriors, mostly symmetrical and rather distinct to the north and south, are topped with pedimented dormers decorated with moulded stone and, specifically, coats of arms. With slate roofs, punctuated with finials, the chateau's interiors feature 18th-century inspired décor, which is, in turn, supplemented with Art Deco details. In addition, the grounds, designed in 1877, are also listed as a national Historical Monument, whereas their landscaped composition, emblematic of the passion for botany in the 19th century, is the result of the close collaboration between an industrialist from Sarthe and Edouard André, an internationally renowned landscape architect, who designed Paris’s Buttes-Chaumont Park.

A 19th-century chateau to renovate for a tourist project, near to the Loire Valley chateaux in more than 2 hectares of parkland. Off a small road, a private lane crosses the moat and leads to a 16th-century postern listed as a historical monument, behind which there is a large lawned courtyard. On one side, the chateau, which was rebuilt in the 19th century, stands on a rocky outcrop. The five-storey edifice stretches from the ground floor to the attic level beneath the rafters, boasting a tuffeau stone facade and a slate gabled roof. On the main facade, two stone dormers with triangular pediments punctuate the roof. At the top of the tuffeau stone elevation, a denticulated frieze underlines the roof. Each level includes four vertically aligned windows, protected by wrought-iron guard-rails and topped by a cornice. The main residence and its two towers are framed by two small and lower wings with flat roofs crowned by stone balustrades. Except for the roofs of the terraces, which require renovation, the structure of the edifice is in a good state. However, it requires full renovation inside. The four storeys are connected by a stone spiral staircase housed in the larger, multi-sided, crenelated tower that flanks the facade. A more slender tower with a pepper-pot roof stands on the other side of the facade. Each level could be transformed into a large self-contained apartment, while the various terraces make it possible to create private outside spaces. The former carriage shed adjacent to the residence could also be transformed into a self-contained cottage. The same is true of the postern at the entrance and the tithe tower, both of which are bordered by the moat. A swimming pool that resembles a garden pond, set slightly away from the buildings, is surrounded by a lawn, while the tall trees ensure privacy.

Built in the late 16th century, the château is a fine example of Renaissance architecture in the Périgord Noir. Steeped in history and architectural elegance, this château is a rare and distinguished property located just outside the medieval jewel of Sarlat-la-Canéda, in the Dordogne department, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, southwestern France. This region is renowned for its medieval architecture, rolling countryside, and popularity among international buyers seeking prestigious heritage properties. This Renaissance château is best known as the childhood home of Étienne de La Boétie, the renowned political philosopher and confidant of writer and philosopher Michel de Montaigne. Constructed in the late 1500s, the château features a symmetrical rectangular plan with round towers at the corners, classic of the transitional style in the phase between fortified medieval castles and more domestic Renaissance châteaux. The main residence boasts a stone spiral staircase, large fireplaces, stone mullioned windows, and spacious rooms with high ceilings typical of its period. The ground floor opens with an elegant dining room featuring stone flooring and a central stone fireplace, creating a warm and authentic atmosphere. From here, you have direct access to the main living room, kitchen, guest WC, and the striking spiral staircase housed in the château’s southern tower. The adjoining annexe houses on the ground floor the fully equipped kitchen, laundry room, a half bathroom and a bedroom. The living room is generously proportioned, showcasing a second impressive fireplace, exposed timber beams, and double-aspect windows that flood the space with natural light while offering views of the gardens. The first floor features a spacious master bedroom, complete with a beautiful stone fireplace, a private ensuite half-bathroom, a separate WC, and double-aspect windows that offer serene views over the château’s gardens and the valley. Also on this level are two additional well-proportioned bedrooms, which share a charming family bathroom, and two further bedrooms and a WC in the annexe, making it an ideal layout for guests or family living. The property is equipped with gas central heating which is underfloor in the dining room. The property with its 5.1 hectares is complemented by a charming stone barn, featuring central double doors and an original stone floor that exudes rustic character. Inside, the historic wooden cow stalls remain intact, offering a unique glimpse into the property’s agricultural past. This versatile space presents excellent potential to be transformed into a workshop, studio, or stylish additional living accommodation, perfectly blending heritage with modern adaptability. The domaine is completed by a round stone dove cote.

It stands as both a living piece of French intellectual history and a stunning architectural landmark, making it a once-in-a-generation opportunity for discerning buyers.
