An 11th century castle near the town of Condom, in Gascony, is for sale. The property belonged to the family of a nobleman, le Seigneur Bertrand de Marreaux, for more than 700 years. It is now being marketed with a €310,000 price tag, after being reduced by some 30 percent.
Close to the market town of Vic Fezensac in the middle of the Gers département, the small, stonghold, which has walls 100 cm thick, fell into ruin in the 19th century and although it was partly rebuilt in the 20th, it nonetheless requires a considerable amount of tender loving care to return it to its former medieval stature. The property, which boasts an attractive square tower and three-foot thick walls, has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and three reception rooms.
