Château de Villeconin was built in the late 14th century by Jean de Montagu, superintendent of finance for Charles VI. The Renaissance contributed to its embellishment. Typical of the medieval period, with its keep, round tower and guardroom, it is surrounded by a moat and borders a park. This charming park, which is enriched each year, features boxwood borders and a wooded area, as well as flower beds alternating between staggered-flowering perennials, hydrangeas, shrubs and roses
Accompanied by the owners, you will visit the guard room with its exceptional framework, the library, the Henri IV staircase and the dining room. The tour, guided by the owner's family, includes a visit to the park, where visitors are also invited to stroll freely.
