Magnificent 17th-century château, listed as a Historic Monument. Guesthouse estate with significant development potential

Engel & Völkers presents this majestic early-17th-century château, largely restored and set within an intact Baroque estate.

Listed as a Historic Monument, this exceptional château embodies the transition between medieval heritage and French classical architecture. A remarkable 15th-century keep remains from the former fortified stronghold.

At the beginning of the 17th century, the medieval complex was reinvented under the direction of a prominent Poitou family, creating an elegant Henri IV-inspired residence with an H-shaped layout, heralding the Louis XIII style.

Behind its restrained façades, enlivened by Renaissance ornamentation and trompe-l’œil effects, the château features a coherent interior layout.

Organized around a grand staircase, it retains many original features: French-style ceilings, stone and terracotta-tile floors, and monumental fireplaces, enhanced in the 18th century by refined parquet floors and marble, and completed in the 19th century.

Designed as much for entertaining as for living, the estate is distinguished by the harmony of its volumes and the quality of its architecture, at once simple and spectacular.

Structured from the 17th century onward, the estate offers an exceptional landscaped setting: a water-filled canal formed from the former moat, tree-lined vistas, Renaissance-inspired parterres, a kitchen garden, orchard and woodland. The outbuildings complete the ensemble with a large orangery hosting receptions and events, stables, a former menagerie and an impressive dovecote.

A unique and admirably preserved property, this château offers a vivid account of four centuries of history and constitutes an architectural testament of rare authenticity.
