Château de Maisonseule, Medieval castle in Saint-Basile, France
The castle sits at 700 meters altitude in an 85-hectare wooded estate, overlooking the Doux valley with its rectangular keep and dry moat system.
Built in the 13th century as Saint Louis' keep serving as a garrison, the castle transformed into a residence in the 16th century under the Sahune lords.
In 1820, Abbot Fustier established an educational institution at the castle, leading to the creation of the Basilian congregation, celebrated 200 years later.
The castle features multiple reception halls accommodating up to 150 guests, with terraces and gardens suitable for events and celebrations.
A lightning strike in September 2013 damaged the keep's roof, prompting restoration work that included rebuilding the original watchtowers.
