19TH-CENTURY CHATEAU IN THE STYLE OF THE 18TH CENTURY - 100 km from Paris - Requiring complete restoration, charming architecture, interior wood panelling - 1.1-hectare parkland, terraced gardens, outbuildings, and a very beautiful entrance gate - Louviers, Eure, Normandy.
Drawing inventively upon the stylistic vocabulary of the 18th century, notably through two mirrored oeils-de-boeuf on the façade, this residence perfectly embodies the elegance of mid-19th-century refined living. Situated on the edge of a village, the property is approached through a magnificent entrance gate composed of twin portals set between pillars adorned with Médicis urns. Built in brick and stone, the château features a central corps de logis of five bays beneath a Mansard roof, flanked by two wings terminating in corner pavilions. The windows, with segmental arches and curved pediments sculpted with gadroons and acanthus leaves, display particularly refined ornamentation. The central window is adorned with a faun mascaron, oak leaves, and musical attributes. The mirrored oeils-de-boeuf are sculpted with mascarons — one depicting a woman, likely Diana, the other Bacchus crowned with bunches of grapes — framed respectively by laurel and vine scrolls, together with keystones and lion masks. Curved dormer windows with radiating pediments and shouldered surrounds further animate the roofline. The pavilion gables each comprise three bays; on the eastern side, the first floor opens directly onto the garden terrace. The rear façade features a handsome projecting central section of three semi-circular arched bays, elegant 19th-century cast-iron railings, and broad symmetrical double doors providing level access to the principal floor.
