Historic 13th Century Château With Spiral Staircase And Extensive Grounds

About the Property

A historic 13th-century château, listed as a Historic Monument, is nestled on a rocky promontory within a wooded valley in Tarn-et-Garonne, France. This medieval estate, originally conceived as a fortified stronghold, has been progressively reshaped from the late 13th century through the 17th century. It encompasses approximately 36,000 square meters of grounds, offering a serene and private environment, while still being conveniently accessible to amenities. The château's architectural silhouette is distinguished by corbelled watchtowers and terraced levels that follow the natural relief of the landscape, with a prominent tower that affirms its original defensive purpose. The interior features approximately 600 square meters of living space, organized around a remarkable spiral staircase with wooden steps, which stands as one of the keep's most significant architectural elements. The generous volumes and substantial walls reflect the strength and character of medieval architecture. Surrounding the closed courtyard are several outbuildings, including a caretaker's house, an ancient chapel, a dovecote, a woodshed, and the remains of a former windmill, all contributing to the estate's architectural coherence. The château was preserved during the French Revolution and underwent a full restoration in the 20th century by a Chief Architect of Historic Monuments.
