Located in the picturesque commune of Champeaux, the majestic Château de l'Espinay is an exceptional residence, just 10 kilometres from Vitré and 35 kilometres from Rennes. The castle, which was formerly known as Château de la Rivière, was renamed in honour of Simon de L'Espinay, who settled there at the end of the 19th century.
The current building, at the heart of the property, was erected in 1570 by the architect Julien Ricand on the foundations of a 13th century fortress. The castle features elegant Renaissance architecture, with a central main building adorned with towers and turrets. At the back, a magnificent façade opens onto a pond of nearly 6 hectares, creating a breathtaking view.
The Château de l'Espinay offers an exceptional living area of nearly 1,500 square metres, comprising 15 rooms, including two majestic reception rooms and a 135-square-metre coat of arms room. The outbuildings of the castle (caretakers' house - 700 m2) offer the possibility of extending the living area to approx. 2,200 square meters. Period architectural elements, including sumptuous fireplaces, add a touch of grandeur to each room.
The castle has eight very large rooms, with the possibility of converting more rooms in the towers. The entire property is spread over 16 hectares of lush greenery, creating a true haven of peace.
The Château de l'Espinay has always been carefully maintained and has been classified as a 'Historic Monument' since 24 July 1946. This protection includes the castle itself, the entrance gate, the moat, as well as the part of the estate delimited by the moat and the pond of the River located to the south.
