This chateau has a long and varied history.
The first parts, of which only the porch, which consists of 2 towers, has been built in 15XX.
This part of the building is connected by a gallery to the “modern” castle built in the Renaissance style, which is somewhat older than 150 years.
Count M. and his descendants used the castle themselves for several years.
The builder's mother comes from one of the oldest and most prestigious houses in the French aristocracy.
The line of your ancestors can be traced back to 1310.
The current owner has already exceeded 70 and lives in Paris.
His 2 children will surely inherit the property one beautiful day and will then be the 6th generation to own the Renaissance castle.
Today the castle has been empty for a few years and has already suffered from poor maintenance (you can see it on some ceilings and walls).
Despite everything, there are still a number of rooms that are wonderfully furnished and decorated, as if the lord of the castle is entering the room at any moment.
The castle chapel is also particularly worth seeing.
In this chapel, built in 1869, the builder's son married in 1889.
Unfortunately, I don't know why the lock is empty and is no longer used.
A real gem.
Unfortunately, pictures and videos have now appeared that show that the facility has been senselessly destroyed. It looks like everything has been kicked short and small.
That's why I decided to post these pictures now. Usually they would have been slumbering on my hard drive for a few more months.
More pictures will follow.
