Château de Maillebois, Renaissance castle in Maillebois, France.

The brick castle features six towers and a chapel, rising prominently within a 225-hectare park filled with ancient trees and water features.

The medieval castle was burned by the English in 1425 and rebuilt, later becoming home to François d'O, finance minister under King Henri III.

The gardens showcase three distinct styles: French formal gardens, English landscape gardens, and a country garden with contemporary sculptures throughout the grounds.

The castle opens from July 1st to August 15th, with guided tours available in French, English, German, and Russian at 5 euros per adult.

The 1880s stables gained recognition when aviation pioneer L.H. Latham performed a landing on the grounds in August 1910.
