En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de Saint-Maixant (Creuse), at an altitude of 572 metres, was built at the end of the 14th or beginning of the 15th century in the military style characteristic of the Marche, probably on the site of an earlier fortress. It has two round towers framing the eastern façade and a square tower on the western side, served by a spiral staircase of 120 steps. Owned by the La Roche-Aymon family, it passed in the second half of the 19th century to the du Plantadis family, who undertook its restoration from 1867 under the direction of Léon Léonard du Plantadis. Partially listed as a historic monument (inscrit aux monuments historiques) since 2 November 1959 (façades and roofs), the thirteen-hectare estate is today a reception venue offering function rooms, holiday cottages (gîtes), five guest rooms, a table d'hôtes, a swimming pool and a spa.
