Located near Angouleme (on the edge of a pretty hamlet), this castle dating from the 12, 15 and 16th centuries was originally established by the Knights Templar on top of a Roman oppidum. The Plantagenets also stayed in this castle during the 100 years war.
This property has 1.5 hectares of land and retains uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside from its hilltop position. The castle itself is registered as a historical monument and has undergone a first class renovation in accordance with the formal planning laws.
The accommodation (600m2+) on three floors has six main bedrooms and is full of wonderful features throughout. in particular, there is an exceptional double gallery staircase, grand fireplaces, doors with pediments, original ceilings, bartizans, mullioned windows, arrow slit windows and more. In the 16th century, a fine renaissance gallery was also created on the first floor. |
