Construction

The Château de Merlinge traces its origins back to the 16th century, although the name "Merlinge" is mentioned as early as 1304. Built on three above-ground levels with a basement, it is flanked by two vast outbuildings and enriched by numerous annexes that harmoniously complete the estate. Carefully maintained over the centuries, the château has benefited from regular renovations, notably the two outbuildings which were recently restored. Surrounded by beautiful stone walls and wrought iron gates, it offers unspoilt privacy and a setting imbued with serenity.
