Château du Bois de Sanzay, Medieval castle in Saint-Martin-de-Sanzay, France.
The castle features high chimneys, three monumental gothic fireplaces, an observation tower, a chapel, and cellars constructed with tufa stone blocks.
Built in the 15th century, the estate was acquired in 1487 by François de Beaumont from the Saint Laon de Thouars abbey clergy.
The architecture combines regional construction methods, displaying the characteristic tufa stone masonry common in Loire Valley castles.
Located between Thouars and Saumur, the castle provides spaces for weddings, private celebrations, and professional events with accommodation options.
The property spans 15 hectares, incorporating French formal gardens and a rotunda of cypress trees that introduces Italian design elements.
