Rennes, Brittany 35000

Superb castle located just 15 minutes from the center of Rennes, with the Tgv station connecting to Paris in 1 hour and 28 minutes, and only fifteen minutes from the airport. Established since 1419, this exceptional property was rebuilt in 1655 in the purest Louis Xiii style. Listed in the Inventory of Historic Monuments, the building benefits from official heritage recognition, as well as the favorable tax regime for protected buildings, which is a key advantage for its enhancement and transmission. The central section, flanked by two slightly protruding pavilions, rises harmoniously over four levels. Dormer windows with curved pediments, harp-shaped door frames, molded bands, and limestone surrounds create a refined and perfectly balanced architecture. Two turrets topped with imperial roofs and lanterns highlight the silhouette, while the high slate roof, accented with ridge finials, underscores the property's elegance.
