Historic 13th Century Château Overlooking the Oise River Valley

About the Property

A historic 13th-century château and cultural landmark, this property is situated one hour from Paris in the Oise department, overlooking the picturesque Oise River valley. Built in 1200 by the Count of Clermont, the château is constructed from Saint-Maximin ashlar stone, a local material, and originally served as a medieval fortress. Its architectural features include a right-angle layout and three irregular-shaped round towers, which reflect its initial defensive purpose. Over the centuries, the château has undergone significant renovations, particularly under the de Madaillan de Lesparre family from the 15th to the 17th centuries. The interior encompasses approximately 1,000 m² of inhabitable space across five levels, including a basement, ground floor, two upper floors, and an attic. The ground floor hosts three drawing rooms, one of which is located in the former armoury. The upper levels are currently divided into four separate flats and workspaces, seamlessly integrating residential life with professional activities. The grand imperial double stone staircase leads to an upper patio adorned with stone balustrades, while the steep slate roof and austere appearance of the château testify to its many transformations, blending medieval asceticism with classical design. The grounds extend over approximately two hectares, sharing a portion of land with a commonhold property that features several villas harmoniously integrated into the estate. Price: €1,490,000 including fees (paid by the seller). Information on the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Géorisques website: https://www.georisques.gouv.fr/
