Veauce, France — Given the prominence of this castle, it somehow feels very cheap to me! 🇫🇷 Comment FORTRESS for the direct link to this incredible palace, formerly occupied by the son of Charlemagne! It’s listed for €800,000 (approx. $927,254) by Alexandre Denniel of Denniel Immobilier. “Legendary fortress of Veauce in the heart of the Allier region. More than 1,000 years of history, on a rocky spur with a splendid view! 8.3 hectares. Endangered monument. Known for having been the residence of Louis the Pious, Emperor of the West, in the 9th century. In the 9th century, the chateau served as the summer residence of Louis the Pious, son of Charlemagne, Emperor and King of the Franks. In the 20th century, under the impulse of the penultimate owner, the chateau became associated with the legend of Lucie, a ghost reportedly seen many times, which brought fame both to the site and to its owner at the time, Mr. Tagori “de la Tour.” Around the fortress are various landscaped features and buildings: A former tower converted into an icehouse, as well as another entrance with lodge and gate (known as the “Small Lodge”). The 8.3-hectare park contains remarkable trees, and the river “Veauce” flows through the center of the estate. Several buildings, probably dating from the 19th century, have been left abandoned: a mill, a metal greenhouse, and various additional structures.”
