Castles, villas and historic buildings in Europe

Europe is rich in historic buildings and landscapes that have decisively shaped and molded European cultural history. Influential personalities were born here, major decisions were made, developments were steered and unique testimonies to economic success were created. After decades and centuries, many of these witnesses are still standing, have survived wars and political aberrations, or are already gleaming in new splendor.

Immerse yourself in the past and connect with the history of your personal dream property. Discover and experience how it is possible to live and work in such old houses today or how they can be used and experienced in the future.

As a specialized real estate portal for the international marketing of historical or listed properties in Europe, we address properties regardless of condition, value or location, whether it is an abandoned castle in Poland or Czech Republic, luxury estates in Italy, or lovingly renovated châteaux in France.
