Château de Courcelles-le-Roy

En un regard

Le château en bref

Courcelles-le-Roy Castle, in Beaulieu-sur-Loire, is a quadrangular building with three wings arranged around a courtyard. Its south-west façade dates from the 17th century, the chapel from the late 18th century, and the towers from the 19th century. The estate belonged to Florent Carton, known as Dancourt (died 1725), and then to his descendants, to Jacques-Antoine-Hippolyte de Guibert around 1788, and then to the Macdonald family from 1803 to 1881; François Aubrun has owned it since 2015. The main building is abandoned, while the 280-hectare estate and the outbuildings are maintained; the dovecote is listed as a monument historique.
