Château Louis XIII: Castle with 32 Rooms - Normandy Estate near Paris

70km west of Paris, Château Louis XIII, built at the beginning of the 17th century, is a former hotel boasting 32 rooms. Just an hour's drive from Paris, nestled in Normandy near Giverny and Vernon, this magnificent property sits within a sprawling 21-hectare park.

Surrounded by dry moats, the castle's brick and stone architecture exudes timeless elegance. Its interior decor, steeped in history, showcases original elements and bears witness to the residence of an American diplomat and the Russian princess he sheltered during the 1917 revolution.

Approaching the castle, visitors are greeted by a grand wrought iron gate leading to a vast U-shaped courtyard flanked by pavilions and turrets. The architectural design, reminiscent of the early 17th century, echoes the grandeur of the first Palace of Versailles commissioned by Louis XIII.

Inside, the ground floor features an opulent entrance hall, a magnificent wooden staircase, and spacious reception rooms adorned with period details such as medieval funerary slabs and ornate fireplaces. The first floor houses ceremonial rooms boasting French beams, tiled floors, and exquisite woodwork from the 18th century. Bedrooms, some with oak framework, offer a glimpse into past luxury living.

The property includes a reception room converted from a barn in 2005, two conference rooms, gas central heating, and extensive parkland with a detached house and outbuilding. With two access points and a facade featuring a 19th-century neo-Gothic chapel, this estate offers a unique blend of history and modern amenities.

Conveniently located just 2km from the A13 motorway interchange and 77km from Paris Porte de Saint Cloud, with easy access to Vernon and Giverny, this property presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of French heritage.

Offered at €2,680,000, fees included (including 6.7% fees payable by the buyer).
