The magnificent castle of Blancafort (Chateau de Blancafort) of the XV century on October 19 can be bought at auction with all the surrounding beautiful gardens and territories. Bidding starts with one euro.
The castle was built in 1453 in the Loire Valley in the Romanesque style. The living area is about two thousand square meters, the castle also houses a library and several impressive wine cellars. In addition, it is only a 30-minute drive from the world-famous French vineyards of Sancerre. A dream, not an offer.
