Château du Tertre, 17th-century castle in Saint-Martin-du-Vieux-Bellême, France
The Louis XIII-style castle sits on elevated ground, featuring a central building with slate roofs and a formal French garden overlooking Bellême forest.
Built by historian Bry de la Clergerie, the castle expanded under Napoleon I's minister Abrial before becoming home to Nobel laureate Roger Martin du Gard.
The property holds the Maisons des Illustres label and maintains Roger Martin du Gard's office and library, preserving the literary legacy of its past.
The castle opens daily from July through September between 1:00 PM and 7:00 PM, with guided visits to interior spaces requiring advance reservations.
The castle hosts regular artist residencies, theater workshops, and musical performances, continuing its tradition as a center for artistic creation.
