Château de Saint-Maixant

The stone fortress features two round towers on its eastern facade and a square tower with a spiral staircase of 120 steps on the west.

Built between the late 14th and early 15th centuries on former fortification grounds, the castle belonged to the La Roche-Aymon family until the 19th century.

The architecture represents military construction methods from the Haute Marche region, with a quadrilateral layout incorporating watchtowers and defensive walls.

The castle functions as an event venue with guest rooms, vacation rentals, swimming pool, and spa facilities spread across 13 hectares of private grounds.

An elevator serves all seven floors of this medieval structure, connecting the various levels of this elevated fortress standing at 572 meters altitude.
