The Venue History

13th century

First mentioned in historical records dating back to 1206, the château has evolved over centuries under various noble owners. Much of its early history remains a mystery, but its centuries-old architecture and serene surroundings attest to a rich past. Well-preserved 8th-century ruins stand just 500 metres away. The château has been beautifully renovated with modern conveniences while retaining its old-world character.
