Castle of Esclimont, Renaissance castle in Auneau-Bleury-Saint-Symphorien, France.
The Château d'Esclimont stands with six towers and turrets surrounded by a moat within a formal French garden spanning multiple hectares.
Built in 1543 for Archbishop of Tours Étienne Poncher, the castle replaced a feudal fortress and underwent major renovations during the 19th century.
The castle serves as a location for cinematographic productions, including adaptations of The Count of Monte Cristo and Monsieur Klein.
The castle operates as a five-star hotel with 52 rooms, offering amenities such as an outdoor pool, restaurant, and bicycle rentals.
Chinese investor Changlin Yang acquired the property in 2015 for 35 million euros, maintaining its position as a luxury hospitality establishment.
