Castle Saintes (17)
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. The 1st floor has parquet flooring and comprises a lounge, 3 independent bedrooms, 2 dormitories, two shower rooms and sanitary facilities. This beautiful property has an outbuilding used as a garden shed and workshop. This former stronghold has magnificent vaulted cellars that have been restored by the current owners. The property extends over 2.47 acres, including its former stronghold surrounded by an irregular enclosure with curtain walls 12 to 14 metres high, pierced by archères, crowned by a parapet walk and flanked by square towers. The moat has now been drained and there is a meadow where you can take full advantage of this place steeped in history. The chateau is listed on the Inventaire supplémentaire des Monuments Historiques: Enclosure wall and postern; turret in the east building containing a spiral staircase; remains of the south wing, now destroyed: start of a spiral staircase and two underground rooms : listed by order of July 1988.

GREAT HISTORY OF HUMANITY - WONDERFUL ROMAN ABBEY AND ITS NEOCLASSIC CASTLE - ON ONE OF THE PILGRIMAGE ROUTES TO SAINT JACQUES DE COMPOSTELA - ANCIENT PLACES OF CONSERVATION OF HOLY RELICS - HERITAGE IN RISK - 12TH CENTURY ROMAN ABBEY - ELEGANT NEOCLASSIC CASTLE EARLY 19TH CENTURY - SUPERB PARK OF 50 HECTARES IN ONE BLOCK AND FREE - RIVER - MIRACULOUS FOUNTAIN. REGISTERED AND CLASSIFIED MH. SAINTES, NEW AQUITAINE. Founded in 1137, this Cistercian abbey on the road to Santiago de Compostela, preserves a rare abbey chapel from the 12th century with a very beautiful Roman-Byzantine facade. In a rare environmental haven of 50 hectares in a single block and free crossed by a river and a Cistercian vestige of hydraulic system, this property also consists of a very elegant neoclassical castle at the beginning of the 19th century, very large and tall 19th century agricultural buildings with exceptional architecture, remains of a medieval mill. The whole thing needs to be restored urgently. Facing the sober semi-circular entrance gate, at the end of an avenue of majestic secular plane trees, stands the very elegant neoclassical castle built around 1840, dominating the U-shaped courtyard closed with stone balustrades, marking on one side a sumptuous 19th century agricultural sheds with monumental architecture, on the other the 12th century Romanesque abbey chapel with a sumptuous facade. The 12th century abbey chapel has a simple basilica plan, which has been shortened in depth as evidenced by the truncated dome of the choir. The particularly beautiful and harmonious facade has three rows of arcades decorated with wolf teeth above a large IHS-engraved pediment installed by the Jesuits managing the abbey estate in the 17th and 18th centuries. Inside, the volume is impressive, we descend into the stone-paved chapel by a large staircase, the vaulted ceiling was decorated with missing domes, one of which was replaced by a pyramid, placed on the outside of the pincer holding a nail from the Cross of Christ. The bays are small, semi-circular vaulted, with beautiful monochrome stained glass windows with typically Cistercian geometric figures. The right side of the chapel bears traces of the covered gallery of the cloister. This church is classified as a Historic Monument and was the subject of official work in 2022 by the Ministry of Culture. The castle was built after 1832, probably around 1840, on the foundations of an 18th century building, in a neoclassical spirit typical of the Restoration, partly in large stone apparatus, with particularly careful architecture taken up at the beginning of the 20th century in a most elegant Louis XVI style. On the park side it has a very beautiful symmetrical facade with 11 bays around a central front body topped with a pediment and decorated with a portico with Doric columns giving access to the entrance hall, all under an attic floor and a balustrade camouflaging the roof. On the courtyard side, the building is L-shaped; The particularly careful architecture presents a very rich Louis XVI ornamentation of garlands, consoles, slits, moldings, pilasters and consoles supporting armorial pediments on each wing. Inside, the crossing hall decorated with antique niches, pilasters and columns in faux marble houses a very elegant and airy staircase in a helical ellipse on a superbly curved stringer, painted with wisteria. On the ground floor, large kitchen, three utility rooms, boiler room. Living room decorated with low wood paneling, a Neo-Renaissance fireplace, access on one level onto the park via a French window. A small living room with window on one level opening onto the garden. A living room decorated with low paneling, large double doors, a trumeau. A living room with herringbone floor. A large double adjoining library lounge decorated with low paneling, overmantel, large library with furniture forming a double door, wc. On the first floor, seven bedrooms, four bathrooms, toilet. On the second floor, nine bedrooms, three bathrooms, toilet. An immense and splendid hangar of more than 500m2 on the ground dominates the courtyard, most probably used as a winery or agricultural barn, built in the 19th century, the very luxurious facade in large stone apparatus features a large monumental arch under a large pediment decorated with agricultural instruments in reference to the harvest (scythe, fork, rake, sheaf of wheat, flail, sieve, shovel, broom, and a bombard), all encompassed in a larger pediment covering the building. Inside, the splendid volume is structured with monumental columns, leaving the volume very airy and easy to use. In the 20th century this place was used as a winery, in a corner a distillery was built. Another large shed used as a cellar is located next to the castle, on its facade we can see niches. All the buildings are in very poor condition and need to be completely restored. Sumptuous 50 hectare park in one block and free. Rare almost perfect land base, rectangular, free of any occupation, with a river crossing it. Superb century-old trees, plane trees, redwoods, numerous trees in the park.
