Château de la Flachère, Medieval castle in Saint-Vérand, France

The castle exhibits a 15th-century architectural design with brick and stone construction, topped by slate roofs and decorated interior rooms.

Originally a Knights of Malta headquarters in the 13th century, the castle was reconstructed between 1863 and 1869 under architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc's direction.

The grand staircase, main living room, and dining room feature protected historical elements that represent 19th-century French aristocratic lifestyle.

The estate spans 270 hectares across Saint-Vérand, Bois d'Oingt, and Légny municipalities, with exterior areas open for public visits.

The castle's park, designed by Varey, contains rare tree species and an advanced water system for irrigation and drinking water supply.
