Meillant Castle has over 1,000 years of history and the unique distinction of never having been sold.

It is still owned today by one of France's oldest families, the Rochechouart de Mortemart family, whose most illustrious member is the Marquise de Montespan.

This castle is also one of the major examples of Flamboyant Gothic architecture, particularly its famous Lion Tower.

Discover in this video the fascinating history of a unique castle, which has remained in the hands of the same family for over a millennium. 🏰✨
