Château de Courtalain, Renaissance castle in Arrou, France
The stone castle features a central tower, extensive gardens, and several buildings spread across a 385-hectare domain near Chartres.
Built in 1483 by Guillaume d'Avaugour, the castle passed to the Montmorency family in 1553 through the marriage of Jacqueline d'Avaugour to Pierre I de Montmorency-Fosseux.
During World War II, the castle served as a storage facility for Egyptian antiquities and tapestries from the Louvre Museum and Saint-Germain-en-Laye Museum.
The estate provides accommodation for 104 guests in four cottages and 29 rooms, with two reception halls and four meeting rooms for events.
The English-style park contains Lebanese cedar trees and features architectural elements from Renaissance, English Neo-Gothic, and 18th-century periods.
