Originally a castle protected by a moat, this is the biggest château in the Bordeaux area. The vast medieval building gets its name from “The Great Gorce” a type of vegetation which grew in this region of France around the beginning of the 16th century.

This ancient property dates back to the 15th century and was originally built as a castle to protect the local area from marauding bands of brigands. You can still see the original owner’s coat of arms engraved in the dungeon.

Château Mas de Pradie was built in the mid-1700s, with a large barn that served as a royal relay station for horses. It was also home to an old mill that operated when the lake flooded seasonally into the cave system below.
Ithaca and Alex
This 18th century building in the Hauts-de-France region of France is actually named Château d’Humeroeuille after the town in which it was built. But its owners and locals recognise it by its nickname: Château Flore, or Plant Castle, because its garden is as famous as the building.
Anna and Philipp
This 8th century château is situated on the edge of Honfleur, in the Calvados region of France. It was originally on a site of a fortified medieval building that had been burnt down. The main body was an 18th century hunting lodge, then a wing was added a century later.
