Ref.3866: Imposing and magnificent castle Historical Monument for sale in Indre.
This important village castle located in Indre was built in the 15th century, on the foundations of a fortress from the end of the 12th century, and mainly remodeled at the end of the 19th century giving it a neo-Gothic decor.
The countryside is beautiful, authentic, peaceful, and you can live off the resources of the village and the neighboring small medium-sized town 8km away.

This castle has retained the appearance of a fortress, even if two sides of the quadrilateral were leveled, thus opening the castle to the light, and causing it to lose its military function.
However, it is still just as imposing, reaching towards the sky and surrounded by walls, in the middle of its park. The construction on a terrace, its high towers, the impressive volume of the rooms and its nine centuries of history make it a real castle. The raised ground floor opens onto the terrace which offers a beautiful view of the park which surrounds the castle.
It includes two vestibules, a dining room, a living room, a kitchen, a library, toilet, bathroom, laundry room. At this level, it is 300 m². On the first floor, a large reception level, including three adjoining lounges totaling 200m² with a height of 4.80m under the joists.
Chapel and master apartment consisting of a bedroom, an office, a bathroom, toilet and dressing room. On the second floor: three other prestigious apartments each consisting of a bedroom, a living room or office, bathroom, toilet.
Various other rooms, hidden passages through walls up to 2 meters wide. Above in the attic, leisure room of 240 m², bathroom, and staff apartment with 3 bedrooms, living room, kitchen and bathrooms.
The whole for approximately 1380m².
It should be noted the remarkable architectural quality, quality of equipment and the careful restoration: parquet or marble floors, monumental fireplaces with coats of arms, polychromy of the chapel, friezes, etc. All this will leave a strong impression on you.

The outbuildings:
Only half of the entrance gate remains, and therefore the drawbridge has disappeared at the same time.
However, the 15th century house, flamboyant Gothic, is still there and constitutes an annex house with 6 rooms, comfortable, but unfinished upstairs. Heating by the castle boiler. As an extension of this long building, office, tavern, saddlery stable.
And at the end, another tower, built, forming the corner of the quadrilateral. Upstairs, probably a former garrison dormitory, with monumental fireplaces.
Fluids are distributed there. And here and there we always find loopholes, a latrine, a stunner, a fire hydrant, because the traces of history are very present in these buildings which have been little transformed over the centuries. In the east tower, 3 levels of a room, gunboat, spiral staircase.
On the opposite side, an interesting 15th century gallery, punctuated by columns with foliage capitals, partially embedded in the masonry. This building must have been used for agricultural or service purposes but nevertheless remains quite rare in its current state.

Enclosed park of 2.35 hectares, planted with large ornamental trees, probably reconstituted and laid out with paths towards the end of the 19th century.
Vegetable garden with part orchard (cherry tree, apple tree, walnut pear tree)
The park and the enclosing walls allow good privacy in the park, facing the village. This results in a very good outdoor atmosphere.
