Château du Plessis-Fortia, Listed historical castle in Huisseau-en-Beauce, France

The castle features a main building with two floors flanked by elevated pavilions, all topped with slate roofs and surrounded by dry moats.

Between 1600 and 1620, Bernard de Fortia III initiated the construction after purchasing the estate from Philippine de Chateaubriand in 1599.

The architecture follows the Louis XIII castle style, drawing inspiration from Du Cerceau's architectural collections published between 1559 and 1582.

The castle remains a private property and requires advance arrangements for any potential visits to view its protected facades and grounds.

The entrance features isolated pavilions framing a former drawbridge, with the initials BF still visible on one of the dormers.
