Jaw-dropping medieval castle with 100 rooms hits market with nearly 1,000 years of history

Le Château de la Verdière, located in the southeastern region of Provence, boasts 100 rooms, plus courtyards, terraces, olive groves and even a helipad.

Alain Lebreton, owner of Provence Verte Sotheby's International Realty, told Fox News Digital the property was restored "meticulous[ly]" between 2003 and 2010.

The restoration involved bringing back 18th-century elements of the property back to life, including its gypseries.

Gypseries, or Provençal ornamental plasterwork, are native to the region.

"A gypserie is an interior decoration molded and sculpted from gypsum which, once fired and ground, becomes plaster powder mixed with water and hardens in the air, similar to staff," said Lebreton. "The term and technique are used almost exclusively in Provence."

He added, "Gypseries were common from the Middle Ages until the French Revolution, particularly on fireplace mantels, in homes, châteaux, townhouses, as well as for open work partitions or ceiling coves."

A tower was added in the 13th century, and between 1437 and 1613 the château expanded further, though much of its present appearance and interior decoration dates to the 18th century.

Lebreton noted that "all of these original elements are still remarkably well-preserved."

He also said that "the château is now ready to welcome a new owner who will fully appreciate the enormous potential of this magical property."

But interested buyers will need an impressive portfolio, because the property is listed for 15 million euros, or $17.7 million U.S. dollars.

"Few châteaux in the south of France combine such scale and quality," he said. 

"La Verdière is one of a kind."

Lebreton said some of the château's property is untapped - offering "the opportunity to create a spa, wellness center or any number of additional luxurious amenities."
