Château de La Villaumaire, Medieval castle in Huismes, France.

The Château de La Villaumaire features Gothic architecture with a main southern facade, located within the Loire-Anjou-Touraine Regional Natural Park.

The castle was built on Gallo-Roman foundations around 1400, with Martin Péquineau, Master of Royal Artillery under Charles VII, as its first known owner.

The castle appears in the writings of François Rabelais during the 16th century, demonstrating its significance in regional literature and history.

The estate covers 5142 hectares within the Chinon forest and offers private tours guided by members of the owner family.

The castle belongs to the Prince of Sant'Eusebio who has undertaken its complete restoration since 1997, following its use as a holiday camp.
