Château de Pinceloup, Historical castle in Sonchamp, France.
The Pinceloup Castle displays a brick and stone architecture with a central pavilion topped by a lantern and symmetrical facades.
In 1897, public works contractor Eugène Thome, who worked with Napoleon III, undertook the complete reconstruction of the castle on existing foundations.
The estate's horse riding arena, registered as a Historical Monument in 2005, reflects the equestrian practices of 19th-century French nobility.
The Paris department now manages this site, which houses Le Nôtre school, training young people in hospitality, catering, and horticulture.
The castle features exactly 365 windows, one for each day of the year, distributed across all its facades.
