Steeped in history and close to the town of Montmorillon, you will find this magical 15th century Château sitting in a peaceful, private setting surrounded by approx 7 hectares of pasture and woodland with river frontage
Formerly a fortress belonging to the Baronry of Montmorillon, it's commanding position overlooking the river Asse gave it strategic importance. In 1494, Jean the 1st of Mareuil became the first Lord inhabitant. He is described as “sword-bearer, squire, and Lord of said place” and his coat of arms is engraved on a chimney (fireplace) of the time. From that time on until 1654, the chateau was occupied by the descendants of this lord


Nowadays, the Chateau has been restored for 21st century living and is currently used as a successful bed and breakfast, self catering gîtes, and events venue, hosting weddings etc .
