Overview

Chateau De Fere could hardly be called a hidden gem — it's a castle estate with a long and rich heritage involving prominent figures in France's history. The original castle was built sometime in 1206 by King Louis VI's grandson, Robert de Dreux. It was eventually passed over to Anne de Montmorency, the Governor General of France, who made his own upgrades to the property. Although the castle was destroyed during the French Revolution, the manor house was rebuilt in 1863. This is why the property boasts some of the better-preserved examples of architecture from multiple time periods. Today, however, the chateau serves as a well-loved hotel known for its gastronomic delights, as well as exciting cultural and outdoor experiences.

History

Chateau De Fere's story began all the way back in the 13th century when the first castle on the estate was built by Robert de Dreux as a fortification. It survived through the centuries, eventually being given to Duke Anne de Montmorency. The latter had the ornate bridge constructed over the castle's moat. The estate eventually passed over to Duke Louis Philippe II, who had the castle destroyed during the French Revolution to win over favor from the people. The modern form of Chateau De Fere is part of the royal chateau that was rebuilt in 1863. This explains why it looks different from the rest of the castle and its grounds. The chateau was eventually opened as a hotel by 1956, providing a luxurious oasis in the French countryside.

Design and Architecture

The architecture of the modern Chateau De Fere is very much intact from when it was rebuilt during the 19th century. Rooms and suites have retained many old features, such as the wooden supports and pillars, creating a rustic and historic vibe. Other sections that have retained many heritage aspects are the dining rooms, now part of the Jean de la Fontaine Lounge. Much of its wood paneling and period frescoes depicting Jean de la Fontaine's fables are still in excellent shape.
