castles for sale Uzès, France

Situated in the heart of a charming village between Uzès and Nîmes, with easy access to the region's main attractions, stands this majestic château, a witness to history since its creation in the 13th century. The ancient moat, battlements and watchtowers evoke its past as a defensive edifice, while in the 17th century it was enlarged to welcome visits from illustrious personalities such as Louis XIII and Richelieu, in preparation for the Peace of Alais. The latest major alterations date from the 20th century, preserving this regional and French landmark through the ages, listed as a historic monument.

A listed Renaissance chateau surrounding a wooded courtyard in the heart of a market town to the north of Uzès. Standing in the north-western part of the village, the chateau backs onto the town hall and the medieval wall that is still in place. Dating back to 1567, the edifice overlooks a courtyard and features two wings at right angles, facing south and east. The facades and the roof have been listed as French historic monuments since 1990. In the 20th century, the two Renaissance facades, then still in a state of disrepair, were extensively restored. They are adorned with decorative carvings whose scrolls contrast with the austerity of the remaining surrounding fortifications, including the base of a medieval keep dating back to the 12th century. Between the 13th and 14th centuries, the La Fare family built a fortified house at the foot of the keep, which was transformed into a residential chateau in the 15th century. Burnt down during the Wars of Religion, which were particularly devastating in these Huguenot lands, the house was rebuilt in its current form “jusque a la mesme aulteur que cy devant estoyt” (to the same height as before). At the time, the highly elaborate facades featured six cross windows framed by carvings in the form of Doric, Ionic and Corinthian pilasters. They have now been restored to their original noble appearance thanks to two restoration campaigns undertaken in the 20th century, which remain to be completed. Once again destroyed by fire in the 18th century, the south wing remained in ruins until the 1950s, when the building envelope was completely rebuilt. When the La Fare family decided to join the Court of Versailles a few years before the Revolution, the remaining part of the building passed into the hands of the neighbour, Scipio de Nicolaï, owner of the other chateau in the village. He precipitated the ruin of his new acquisition, not without a certain degree of gloating. It was the family of the current inhabitants who saved the La Fare chateau after acquiring it in 1919. From then on, the chateau was put to all sorts of uses, in turn housing the village brass band, catechism classes and later a wigmaker, who kept powder and curling irons on the premises. As a result of these varied uses, the interior has been fashioned in a way that is quite surprising compared to the appearance of its facades, creating a cheerful structural disorder.

This historic property is excellently located in the greater Uzès area, Languedoc Roussillon, Occitanie, South of France. Built in the Middle Ages on the foundations of an old fortified castle, the additions through the centuries have left different features including the beautiful rooms with vaulted ceilings, a sumptuous Louis XIII staircase and the Empire lounge. Standing majestically in the heart of the village, you can admire the beautiful facade, its two entrance towers and the remains of its ancient ramparts. The rooms offer beautiful volumes with large windows, high ceilings, beautiful floors and fireplaces - in short, a feeling of well-being. This proves that a castle can both retain all its charm, character and authenticity while offering us all the modern comforts. You just have to impregnate this house of your own history!

In a charming little village between Uzès and Bagnols-sur-Cèze, this 12th-16th century edifice is listed on the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments. Built over 5 levels, with its magnificent spiral staircase, this 550m2 chateau has 22 rooms including 10 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms/shower rooms, as well as 1 workshop, 1 kitchen and several rooms overlooking a courtyard. The property also includes non-adjoining garden with swimming pool. This impressive castle will be perfect for both history buffs and hosts for leisure and tourism projects.
