19th Century Château With Medieval Origins Set Within 22 Hectares of Grounds

About the Property

A partly listed 19th-century château with medieval origins, this remarkable property is situated just 15 minutes from Poitiers, France, and encompasses 22 hectares of grounds. The estate features a former keep dating back to 1356, which has been remodelled in the 14th century and is registered as a Historic Monument. The château's architecture reflects several phases of construction, with a façade characterized by wide windows, dormers, and a slated roof, all harmoniously integrated into the landscape. The entrance to the property is marked by several gateways, leading through an avenue of plane trees that gradually reveals the château. The building showcases elements from the Renaissance and extensive 19th-century works, including watchtowers and pinnacles. Historical significance is underscored by its association with notable figures such as Jean II le Bon and Louis XIV, who is reputed to have stayed here en route to his marriage. The upper windows bear a Latin motto, "Paix à cette maison" — "Peace to this house." To the west, a terrace lined with columns extends into a pergola, complemented by a fountain set on the lawn beyond. The outbuildings, forming a hamlet, are set apart from the château and serve varied purposes, while the estate is surrounded by parkland, woodland, meadows, and an orchard.
