Château de Courcelles-le-Roi

The Château de Courcelles-le-Roi exhibits medieval architecture with a western tower replaced by a terrace and a watchtower on the southwest corner from reconstruction.

The castle, built in the 12th century and destroyed by English forces, underwent reconstruction in the 15th century and received royal visitors including Saint Louis and Charles VIII.

This former medieval fortress evolved into a manor house during the 16th century, preserving architectural elements from various construction periods throughout its history.

The 25-hectare estate features 19 rooms across four outbuildings, accommodating 55 guests with a reception hall that seats 150 people for various events.

The castle maintains its historical moats, partially filled during the 20th century, and incorporates fortification elements including the recently restored southeast tower.
