Castle for sale - Uzès, France

This exceptional castle, completely restored, appears in writings from 1150. It was ceded by Louis VII to the Bishop of Uzès in 1156. The castle includes two square towers from the medieval period (dating from the 12th century), remains of the old fortified castle. In ruins, following the wars of religion, the lordship held by the Thezan de Poujols, was bought in 1653 by Canon Sconin, Racine's maternal uncle. He had part of the old castle demolished, which currently consists of two separate parts: an east wing from the 12th century and a west wing from the 17th century around an interior courtyard. Racine wrote in "the letters of Uzès" in 1661 that his uncle "built a very beautiful home there... it is the most regular and even the most pleasant in all of Uzès". The castle is listed in the supplementary inventory of historical monuments. State of risks and pollution: in progress (null).
