Château du Fayel, 17th-century castle in Le Fayel, France
The Château du Fayel stands with a central section and two wings, constructed from brick with stone corners in the Louis XIII architectural style.
Philippe de La Mothe-Houdancourt, Marshal of France and Viceroy of Catalonia, commissioned architect Jacques Sparrow to build this residence between 1650 and 1655.
The interior chambers underwent modifications during the 18th century, representing the evolution of French noble living spaces through different periods.
The castle remains a private residence owned by the Cossé-Brissac family, with limited access to visitors except during specific heritage events.
Queen Christina, Louis XIV, Anne of Austria, and Cardinal Mazarin visited this castle, which has never been sold since its construction.
