En un regard
Le château en bref
Villemesle Castle, in Boisgasson (Eure-et-Loir), succeeds a feudal motte first mentioned in 1403, which held high, middle and low justice. The present building, constructed in the mid-17th century, received two service wings in the 18th century flanking the cour d'honneur. It retains a 17th-century wooden staircase with balusters, panelling and fireplaces from the 18th and 19th centuries, as well as moats crossed by two bridges and a wrought-iron gate; one of the north pavilions partially collapsed into the moats. Today the castle rents out its reception rooms for weddings, anniversaries and christenings, and offers seven guest rooms with breakfast included.
