Château de Frapesle, Historical castle in Issoudun, France
The main residence of Château de Frapesle features a Louisiana-style wooden balcony and elevated chimneys, surrounded by a 5-hectare English-style park.
Built in 1804 on the site of an old mill by the Tournemine river, the castle underwent significant renovations between 1869 and 1871.
French writer Honoré de Balzac stayed at the castle during the 1830s and used it as inspiration for his novel La Rabouilleuse.
The castle grounds include decorative gates, a greenhouse, an orangery, and multiple water features with an island connected by pathways.
The park contains original trees from the 1830s, when it was first created, and maintains its nineteenth-century landscape design.
