Château de la Rigaudière, Classified historic monument in Médis, France
The rectangular courtyard of this classic French castle leads to a main residence with two pavilions and a central part marked by a triangular pediment.
Built between 1759 and 1776 for the Froger de La Rigaudière family, the castle replaced an earlier structure that dated from 1636.
The ground floor rooms display Louis XV style painted woodwork decorations with Rocaille motifs and 18th-century fireplaces featuring landscape paintings.
The castle and its dependencies received monument historique classification in 1996, protecting its architectural elements, courtyard, and garden landscape.
During the French Revolution, the castle remained undamaged due to the Froger de La Rigaudière family choosing not to flee the country.
