Its granite façade, punctuated by tall windows and topped by an elegant slate roof dotted with dormers, is preceded by a majestic horseshoe-shaped staircase leading to the entrance steps. A restored 15th-century watchtower, a listed chapel from the same century, and a courtyard of outbuildings comprising a barn, garages, reception areas and self-contained accommodation complete this remarkable heritage complex. The grounds, a veritable landscaped gem, unfold with meadows, woods and tree-lined avenues dotted with century-old trees. Two romantic ponds reflect the silhouette of the château and are home to a peaceful population of swans and herons. A former racecourse recalls the estate’s equestrian past.

Castle Mauzun (63)

13th-Century Medieval Fortress – Listed Historic Monument (MH / ISMH) Overlooking the fertile plains of Limagne and the foothills of the Livradois, east of Clermont-Ferrand and close to Billom, the Château de Mauzun rises from a basalt volcanic outcrop, a timeless sentinel of Auvergne’s history. Originally a fortified motte that became one of the principal strongholds of the Counts of Auvergne as early as the 10th century, Mauzun fully entered the history of France in the early 13th century. In 1210, King Philip II of France annexed Auvergne to the Kingdom of France and placed Mauzun under the authority of the Bishops of Clermont, contributing to its strategic development and prominence. Built according to the principles of the greatest medieval fortresses, Mauzun is remarkable for its exceptional scale: nearly 900 metres of ramparts protecting a vast lower bailey of approximately 3 hectares; an intermediate enceinte punctuated by 16 towers enclosing the outer courtyard; and a monumental keep measuring 50 metres on each side, flanked by four corner towers linked by massive curtain walls, with several levels of wall walks. In the 16th century, the fortress was enhanced with elements of comfort, notably a northern curtain wall opened with large sculpted windows, offering spectacular panoramic views. For almost four centuries, Mauzun stood as one of the symbols of power in Auvergne and remained a coveted site during every period of unrest. Gradually abandoned and partially dismantled, the château regained its unified ownership in the 19th century. In the 20th century, an initial restoration programme was undertaken, particularly the Captaincy Tower, converted into residential accommodation. Further works were resumed in the 21st century and remain to be completed. Today, Mauzun stands as an open-air lesson in medieval military architecture, a site of rare evocative power. Underground passages, defensive systems, a mysterious cistern, and its bold setting atop an ancient volcano continue to inspire research, reflection, and discovery. More than a real estate project, the Château de Mauzun is a heritage to be preserved — a place to be understood and respected. It is intended for a purchaser driven by a passion for history and architecture, willing to commit to a long-term vision in the service of preservation and transmission.

Castle San Polo dei Cavalieri (Italy)

On a hill in the picturesque San Polo dei Cavalieri, a few kilometers from Rome, a splendid 10th-century castle is for sale, a true monument of history and architecture. The residence initially belonged to the Knights of the Sovereign Order of Malta and later became part of the Roman monastery of Saint Paul Outside the Walls. Only in the 12th century did the castle take the name of San Polo dei Cavalieri and become an important strategic point at the crossroads of the Sabina and Aniene valleys, attracting the interest of the feudal lords of Marcellina, Palombara Sabina, Montecelio, Tivoli, and the Abbey of Saint Paul. In the second half of the 14th century, the estate passed to the noble Orsini family, who transformed it into a powerful family fortress. In 1558, the Orsinis sold the castle to the Cesi dynasty, who used it as an elegant summer residence, where members of the aristocracy often gathered. It was here, in 1603, under the patronage of Federico Cesi, that the Accademia dei Lincei was founded, one of the first academies of science in Europe, where Galileo Galilei himself was a guest. After the plague epidemic of 1656, the castle passed to the Borghese family and subsequently became part of the Papal State during the unification of Italy. Today, this magnificent castle, with a surface area of approximately 2,000 square meters, presents itself to our eyes after a careful restoration, carried out with extreme attention to detail and using noble materials. The interiors include sumptuous halls and dining rooms decorated with ancient frescoes and large windows offering breathtaking views. The residence also includes, within the castle, an elevator, a private chapel, a stone cellar, seven spacious bedrooms with bathrooms, majestic period fireplaces, and terraces measuring approximately 360 square meters, including a panoramic terrace and a rooftop terrace with 360-degree views of the surrounding green hills. This offering represents a unique opportunity to purchase an authentic architectural masterpiece steeped in history, located near the Eternal City.

Every stone of these majestic towers breathes history - they witnessed the Renaissance splendor of the times of Sforza Monaldeschi, experienced the enthusiasm of the romantic transformations in the 19th century, when Count Edoardo Caen d'Anvers and the architect Giuseppe Partini breathed new life into the castle, turning it into a pearl of the neo-Gothic style. The grandeur and refinement of the landscape are emphasized by the elegant gardens created by the famous garden masters Henri and Achille Duchesnay, who added subtle notes of serenity and romance to this fairy-tale atmosphere. Entering the castle, you find yourself in a fascinating atmosphere of luxurious interiors. Here, marble floors, precious frescoes, vaulted ceilings, skillful wall decorations and graceful statues are harmoniously intertwined - as if a reflection of past eras raised to the pinnacle of perfection. The luxurious suite of rooms is decorated with elegant arches and huge windows that open up breathtaking views of the surrounding hills. On the first floor of the mansion, you can stroll through the grand gallery, look into spacious reception halls or cozy living rooms that immerse guests in the atmosphere of a former aristocratic life. The second level - piano nobile - is another magnificent gallery, a library with the warm comfort of parquet floors, dining rooms and halls that preserve the sophistication of bygone centuries. Above are the rooms and bedrooms, among which a special place is occupied by a room with a bathroom and a sauna.

The terraced garden close to the restaurant also features an orchard and an area where they cultivate edible roses, as well as mallow, passion flower, elder, mint and nettle to make organic herbal teas.

The History The castle was built on top pf a rocky cliff, near an ancient pagan temple dedicated to the God of Metauro River and was erected after the break-up of the Roman Empire in the 12th century to defend the town of Mercatello sul Metauro. With its high towers made of large stone ashlars, the armigers defended this noble land from the intrigues of wandering knights and the conspiracies of the mighty. It was in 1301 that Charles of Valois, brother of the King of France, and Corso Donati decreed the exile of Dante Alighieri in this castle. The Location This amazing castle in Marche is located just minutes from Mercatello sul Metauro and is surrounded by the luxuriant woods of the Alta Valle del Metauro in the province of Pesaro-Urbino. The valley is located in the northernmost province of Le Marche, which makes it a strategic crossroads for tourism: it stretches from the Adriatic Sea to the Apennines and borders Emilia Romagna, Tuscany and Umbria. It therefore represents an ideal area to discover and visit central Italy. To the east, you can reach the Adriatic coast, with its sandy beaches and San Bartolo cliffs; to the west, you can explore the Appennines; all around you come across beautiful towns like Urbino, the cradle of Renaissance, and you can continue on to Montefeltro, an authentic treasure chest of villages, fortresses and princely palaces, known for their ducal courts and solemn sanctuaries. Mercatello sul Metauro is a lovely village in northern Marche: thanks to the beauty of its historic centre and the protection of the environment and landscape, it has been included in the club of Italy’s most beautiful villages’. In addition to the many historical and architectural beauties, Mercatello is a town with all amenities and, especially in summer, many events are organised to entertain tourists and locals. EPC: Ordered Why Buy It Who has never dreamed of owning a castle from the 1100s? This magical place will allow you to experience history and make good business out of it too.
