Landreville Castle

The Château de Landreville, situated in the Argonne Ardennaise region, is a rectangular "maison forte" (strong house) flanked by four cylindrical towers with 'pepper-pot' roofs, surrounded by water-filled moats, with a six hectares park, stables and two pavilions.

In 800 years of history it has witnessed the lives of many families, including the Landrevilles, Grandprés, Chennerys, Beauvais, Maillarts, Meixmorons.

The building plan is typical since the 15th century, with a rectangular home confined by four round towers.

On three floors, rectangular fire holes are let into the towers to provide protection for the four sides.

The main door is decorated with embossed designs and statuettes of caryatids, characteristic of the French Renaissance after 1550.
