Exceptional opening of the interiors and the park.
A year ago, Marie and I fell in love with this 600-year-old Lady. A real love at first sight. This house chose us and we dived.
Since we got the keys to the Château d'Huillé last December, we have worked a lot in the gardens that were going to waste, allowing themselves to be invaded by the shoots of trees, the brambles sometimes reaching 3 meters in height, covering or partially entering buildings. We have already taken control of much of the park, trying to save a bicentennial cedar damaged by two stormy episodes, cleared and rediscovered wonders including a greenhouse, probably a cooler and an old school.
The most remarkable remains the building itself; elevated on a vaulted cellar thirteenth, composed of a main home from the very beginning fifteenth, covered with an exceptional structure in overturned boat hull. It was taken the liberty in the eighteenth to cut the sand pits to accommodate three dormers in the attic. This unfortunate initiative led the framework to apply a force on the south façade, causing major disorders inside and outside, jeopardizing the sustainability of the building.
We are engaged in important structural works to save without delay what must be and then restore, over longer periods, what deserves it. We offer you to follow us on this exciting path now by observing the progress from year to year.
In addition, you will discover Marie’s artistic work since this exceptional setting houses her ceramic workshop.
** Saturday 10am-1pm 2pm-6:30pm Sunday 10am-1pm 2pm-5pm
Guided tour of the Castle every ½ hours limited to 15 people (it is advisable to register). Free access to the park.
