Château d'Anglade, Neoclassical castle in Izon, France.
Château d'Anglade is a neoclassical mansion in Izon featuring a central main structure flanked by two pavilions at each end. The property extends southward with lower buildings, one of which houses a small chapel.
This mansion replaced an 11th-century fortress located several kilometers to the southwest that was expanded during medieval times before disappearing. The current neoclassical residence was built in the 18th century to serve as a new family home.
The estate carries the name of its former owners and displays the refined interior woodwork from the 1700s that shaped how the mansion was lived in. These details reflect the daily habits of a wealthy family who made their home here.
The property is accessed via a long elm-lined avenue stretching approximately one kilometer from the entrance. The facades and roofs are protected heritage structures, which affects how the building is maintained and presented to visitors.
Two crumbling 17th-century pavilions mark the start of the elm-lined avenue, standing like silent sentries at the approach. These ruins are often overlooked by visitors despite their role in telling the story of the earlier structures on the land.
