Full Description
Located just 150 kilometers from Paris and only 30 minutes from Deauville, this remarkable château—designated as a Monument Historique—sits at the heart of a magnificent 42-hectare wooded park. With architectural layers spanning six centuries, the estate offers approximately 1,400 m² (15,000 sq ft) of habitable space and extraordinary heritage value.
The property’s 14th-century entrance opens to a grand hall featuring a monumental fireplace, leading to three elegant salons, a formal reception room, a spacious kitchen, two bedrooms, a shower room, and a wellness area with an indoor pool and jacuzzi—all overlooking the formal French gardens.
The upper levels house 12 bedrooms, four bathrooms, and three additional shower rooms. Of special note is the 15th-century chapel on the first floor, exquisitely decorated by artist Symon Gredovin and once visited by Sully and Henri Iv. The chapel retains original period frescoes. The second floor reveals a vast convertible attic beneath a spectacular Gothic timber framework.
The château’s basement is composed of beautifully preserved vaulted cellars.
Enhancing this prestigious estate are three independent residences (a hunting lodge, a caretaker's house, and a guesthouse), as well as a large garage, stables, woodshed, dog kennel, vegetable garden, and a forest chapel awaiting restoration. Whether envisioned as a luxurious private residence or an upscale hospitality/event venue, Château du Plessis offers a rare blend of historical prestige, natural beauty, and development potential.
