• Bedrooms: 14

This Chateau was inspired by Italian architecture; a Florentine style façade with a round covered terrace at the entrance attracts immediately the eye. It is an absolute dream to sit on this terrace and overlook the park with its pond and far view and to enjoy the beautiful nature. The Château offers many original features like high ceilings, original wall paintings, a beautiful stair hall way, different wooden parquet floors, marble fireplaces and is well maintained and in good condition. The two apartments have separate entrances and leave the privacy for the Château. There is a big development potential with the attached outbuildings.
