Remarkably Restored 18th Century Château With Abbey Church And Expansive Park

About the Property

Remarkably restored 18th-century château and abbey church in the Vendômois, situated within an expansive 84-hectare estate, approximately 192 km from Paris. This elegant property, originally founded in the 6th century, features a beautifully restored abbey house and a monumental abbey church, showcasing exquisite architectural details and a rich historical narrative. Nestled on the edge of a quaint village in the Loir Valley, this abbey has a storied past, having endured Viking destruction in the 10th century before its transformation into a private residence in the 19th century. The château, comprising one of the four surviving wings of the cloister, exhibits graceful 18th-century architecture, highlighted by a wrought-iron balcony and Neoclassical entrance door. The extensive restoration, completed in 2025, involved significant investment to enhance both structural and aesthetic elements, ensuring the property meets the highest standards. The interior boasts a vaulted entrance hall leading to a corridor that connects the principal rooms, including the magnificent Gothic chapter house, adorned with ribbed vaulting and richly carved capitals. The ground floor features a large kitchen and three elegant reception rooms, each embellished with 18th–19th-century wood paneling, parquet flooring, and marble fireplaces. The first floor accommodates seven beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, accessed from a wide main corridor. The monumental abbey church, with its Neoclassical façade from the early 19th century, houses a nave and transept crossing featuring magnificent 12th-century Gothic vaulting and a rare rose window.
