Château de La Fontaine, Historic castle near Orléans, France
Château de La Fontaine is a castle located in Olivet near Orléans, situated on sprawling grounds with water features and historic structures. The property encompasses multiple buildings from different periods set within a landscaped setting.
Religious communities settled on the riverbanks from the 6th century onwards, establishing monastic presence in the region. A nearby convent later held ownership of major portions of the current parkland.
The property regularly hosts exhibitions, concerts, and cultural gatherings in its 200-square-meter Orangerie and 250-square-meter Fragrance Greenhouse.
The property can host different types of events with flexible indoor and outdoor space arrangements. Pathways connect the main structures and allow visitors to explore the grounds comfortably.
A small shrine from the 10th century sits on the grounds dedicated to Saint Julian, the protector of river travelers. A spring near this structure has long been known to locals for its reputed restorative qualities.
