En un regard
Le château en bref
Château de Bellechasse is a French château located in the commune of Saint-Pierre-de-Jards, in the department of Indre in Centre-Val de Loire. It was built in the 19th century to replace the former Château de la Guichonnerie, which had been owned by the Gaignault de Beaulieu family since 1771.
Set in the heart of the Champagne berrichonne wine-growing region, Château de Bellechasse is renowned for its landscaped gardens, designed by the landscape architect Paul de Lavenne de Choulot for Sophie de Villesaison, a descendant of the Gaignaults. The Comte de Choulot was responsible for the designs and installations of more than 300 gardens in France and across Europe between 1820 and 1863, among them the landscaped parks of the commune of Le Vésinet in Île-de-France.
Château de Bellechasse has a pleasure garden and a landscaped woodland park in the style of 19th-century estates, covering 24 hectares. It is today a privately owned historic property.
