A 15th-century keep and an early 17th-century H-shaped residential château form the historic core of this estate in the Poitou region. Set on the banks of a river, the property exemplifies the transition towards the classical architecture of the Louis XIII period.
Behind understated Renaissance façades with trompe-l’œil decorative elements, the interior is organised around a central grand staircase. The property retains French ceilings, stone and terracotta floors, and monumental fireplaces. Later additions from the 18th and 19th centuries include parquet flooring and marble features.
The estate grounds are historically structured, featuring a former moat canal, tree-lined axes, formal gardens, kitchen garden, orchard, and woodland. Outbuildings include an orangery for events, stables, a former menagerie, and a dovecote.
A remarkably well-preserved historic estate of rare integrity and architectural coherence.
