15 minutes from Poitiers, a 19th-century castle partially listed as an Historical Monument, founded in the Middle Ages, with its outbuildings in a hamlet and its park of 22 hectares. Accessible through several gateways, the property is hidden behind high walls and the foliage of ancient trees. From the main entrance, the castle gradually reveals itself through a line of plane trees. The building bears witness to several stages of construction. From the medieval period, an old keep, modified in the 14th century and listed as an Historical Monument, remains. With a balanced plan, its façade is marked by wide openings and dormer windows. The roof is made of slate, and the walls are coated with exposed stone corner elements. The main expansions date back to the Renaissance, but it is in the 19th century that the most significant transformations took place. Turrets, dormer windows, large openings, and pinnacles reflect these various periods. Thus, in 1356, during the Hundred Years' War, Jean II le Bon is said to have stopped here during the battle of Maupertuis. Later, Louis XIV reportedly stayed here on his way to Saint-Jean-de-Luz for his marriage to Marie-Thérèse of Austria. On the railings of the high windows is a Latin motto: 'Peace to this house.' To the west, a terrace bordered by columns is extended by a pergola and a fountain placed on the lawn. The outbuildings, located a distance from the castle, form a set for varied uses. The whole is surrounded by the park, woods, meadows, and orchard.
