Château de Souys, Heritage castle in Saint-Menoux, France
The Château de Souys features a central building with two wings, decorated with corner chains and covered with slate roofs in a symmetrical design.
Built in the mid-17th century according to plans by Jules Hardouin-Mansart, the castle belonged to the Gaudon family before changing ownership in 1692.
The castle contains a large salon decorated with silver-woven tapestries depicting mythological scenes, reflecting 17th-century French aristocratic tastes.
The castle functions as a group accommodation facility with 114 beds, meeting rooms, and equipped kitchens spread across multiple floors.
A circular chapel topped with a dome stands next to the entrance portal, featuring strong embossments and Ionic architectural elements.
