Château de Blancafort
Château de Blancafort, Historic castle in Blancafort, France.
Château de Blancafort sits along the Canal de la Sauldre, built with pink bricks and surrounded by French gardens and extensive grounds. The building displays a mix of architectural styles from different periods due to various renovations over the centuries.
The Boucard family built the fortress in 1475 on the site of an 11th-century seigneury. The 17th century brought significant modifications that transformed the castle's appearance.
The interior displays period furniture and tapestries from the 17th and 18th centuries that reflect how French aristocrats lived in those times. These pieces give visitors a sense of the tastes and daily life of the castle's former inhabitants.
The castle opens to visitors from May through September with both guided and self-guided tour options available. The gardens and grounds offer pleasant walking paths that allow you to explore the entire property.
The distinctive pink brick structure with its large window openings remains today an inhabited private residence. This dual role as a protected monument and active home makes it unusual among castle museums.
