Château de Saint-André stands in Le Poët-Célard (Drôme), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: third quarter of the 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Raymond Blaïn had this castle built around 1560 in Drôme. The building retains its Renaissance windows, while the inner courtyard and eastern gallery were refitted in the mid-18th century. Surrounding the main building are outbuildings, a fortified tower, a dovecote and the remains of a rural estate organized around a spring and vegetable garden.

What to know

  • The castle and its outbuildings, including the north tower, stables, dovecote and vegetable garden, have been listed as historical monuments since 2003.
  • The current structure blends 16th-century architecture with 18th-century modifications, notably the eastern gallery dated 1744.
  • The entire estate, including the spring and terraces, is covered by the protection order.
