Located in the Ardennes region of Reims, this magnificent castle, classified as a historic monument, sits on a 7-hectare park. With a rich medieval history, the strategic location of Château de Grandpré on a rocky spur overlooking the Argonne region towards the Champagne routes made it a crucial border space for the young kingdom of France. Owned by the powerful Louis de Joyeuse in the 17th century, the castle was expanded and embellished, leaving a lasting mark on the surrounding buildings and church. The Joyeuse family's military achievements and alliances with prominent Champagne families further solidified their influence and prosperity. However, the domain began to fragment in the 18th century, leading to a gradual decline in occupancy. After serving as a headquarters for General Dumouriez during the French Revolution, the castle suffered neglect and a fire in 1834, resulting in its destruction. Today, a restored pavilion forms the current château, surrounded by a remarkable ensemble of outbuildings and a grand courtyard. The property offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of history in a picturesque setting with great potential for restoration and further development. As for the price of the property, at 720000, it reflects the historical significance and potential of the castle and its grounds. The rich history, unique architectural features, and expansive park make it a rare and desirable investment for those seeking a piece of France's heritage. It offers an opportunity for restoration and transformation into a grand estate, welcoming visitors to experience its past glory and charm.
