Chateau Perigueux tp://
A unique opportunity to hold the key to nearly a thousand years of rich French heritage, this château has been owned and cherished by the same family since early 12th century. First built in 1143, the château was re-built in 1740. Since that time it has never been modified and retains all its original features, contents and early 18th century elegant charm. As you can see, this is a very special property and will be sold with many of the contents, made specifically for the family, displaying the family crest. The tapestries were hand-created in Aubusson and are of world importance.
Currently the château enjoys 25 bedrooms, a suitably noble entrance hall, with a sweeping stone staircase and classic tiled floor. The Grand Salon is over 64 m2 with doors leading to a large terrace with commanding views over the rolling countryside. There is also a private theatre, private chapel, library and a spectacular dining/banqueting hall. This is a château where entertaining has considerable importance. The large kitchen is in the basement and there are extensive cellars with subterranean passages.
