Château d'Échuilly, Heritage castle in Les Verchers-sur-Layon, France
The estate encompasses a main castle with two wings forming an honor courtyard, complete with surrounding moats and connecting stone bridges.
Jean de La Selle, royal counselor and treasury president of Tours finances, commissioned the construction of the castle in 1730, completing it in 1740.
During World War II, the castle stored valuable artworks for protection, including stained glass windows from Reims Cathedral under curator Albert Pellus.
The castle remains under private ownership within the de Geoffre de Chabrignac family, requiring advance arrangements for any potential visits.
The property features multiple architectural elements including a dovecote, rotunda chapel, orangerie, and two southern outbuilding wings.
