Perched on a hill west of Bourdeaux, this castle is a remarkable example of 16th-century architecture. Built on the foundations of a fortified house, it has preserved many of its original features, combining simplicity with refinement. This historic site played a significant role in the rise of the Reformation, notably with the presence of Raymond de Blaïn and his son Louis.

With a slightly trapezoidal quadrilateral shape, the castle is edged by three towers and features a central courtyard measuring 20 meters by 15 meters. The staircase tower offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The cut-stone walls are topped with a roof of curved tiles.

The castle comprises three large residences (each approximately 240 sq m), a caretaker's apartment, spacious reception rooms, and a 110 sq m Armory Hall adorned with 16-century frescoes depicting landscapes, human figures, and grotesque motifs. The monumental fireplace, engraved with the motto "Impavidum ferient ruinae", symbolizes the resilience of the Reformation movement.

The castle is equipped with a high-performance heating system adapted to its size and a modern electrical system, ensuring optimal comfort while preserving its historical charm.

Outside, the castle features an exceptional panoramic view. A landscaped garden and an orchard enhance the property, along with an extraordinary swimming pool, adding a touch of modernity to the historic setting.

Fully renovated, this castle combines the charm of Renaissance architecture with contemporary comfort. An ideal venue for receptions, seminars, and events, this exceptional property offers a prestigious setting and a unique atmosphere, perfect for unforgettable moments.
