In the charming Berry region, in the Indre-et-Loire department, this fascinating 12th-century Gothic castle is for sale. Built over an ancient 10th-century Benedictine monastery, it develops over 4 levels for a total of 2,900 sqm, immersed in 2.5 hectares of wonderful private parkland. This imposing fortress, featuring defensive walls and three corner towers, offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of history. Napoleon reportedly stayed here upon his return from Waterloo, having the royal engineers work tirelessly for days to bury a treasure in the garden that was never recovered. This is also where George Sand, the French writer and playwright famous for her novels and short stories, set her well-known novel *The Master Bell-Ringers*. This magnificent 12th-century castle, erected during the Hundred Years’ War, consists of two separate structures: the main fortress and an annex built on the southern wing of the walls, totaling 2,900 sqm. Originally a massive structure with four corner towers, the fortress was later modified in the 19th century when the northern tower was demolished, a large terrace was created on the southern side, and windows were added to every wall. The property offers a total of 9 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, and 14 living areas including salons, studies, and sitting rooms, resulting in an elegant and clever layout of the spaces.
