Originally, it was the second estate of Paul, who married Simone, the daughter of a famous painter refined in symbolism from that era. Paul was a senior French civil servant and a collector of works of art, and he had 3 children together with his wife. In the 1960s, he passed away and the estate was passed on to their youngest son: Jean-Pierre. Jean-Pierre followed in his father's footsteps and worked as a General Engineer of Armaments, and after years of hard work, he was awarded the title of Officer of the Legion of Honor. Moreover, he had a great passion for archeology and collected all kinds of remains. But that was not everything. Just like his great-grandparents, he followed the age-old family tradition of wine making and continued to do so until very late in life, until the age of 92-years old, when also he passed away. The historic estate now stood abandoned and over the years, only a shadow of its former grandeur remained. The situation is currently so bad that while we were exploring, looters came inside and were stealing and loading their van. Yet, there is nobody who cares or actively watches or closes the castle. You might wonder: How could such a rich piece of heritage get to this point? For that, we need to dig into the archives. Even though everything looked so rosy and Jean-Pierre was doing well, a downside took place just one year before his death, dooming the building’s desolation. After accumulating sky-high debts and evading taxes, a judicial liquidation process was initiated against him. Around the end of 2023, the judicial process was finally closed as the State claimed the entire property in exchange for the liquidation of his debts. And ever since, things have gone terribly downward for the property and it has slowly turned into a paradise for looters. Join us as we delve into the depths of this once-proud fortress, unraveling the mysteries of its decline and cherishing the remnants of its fading beauty before it succumbs entirely to the ravages of time.
