Thought this might have some general period appeal, even tho' the actual structure predates the Golden Age.

Fans of the new film version of “Angels and Demons” and its predecessor, “The Da Vinci Code”, will undoubtedly find mysterious coincidences and eerie symbols in a castle for sale in France.
Château de La Jarthe was once a refuge for the Order of the Knights Templar, the secretive Christian military order that once wreaked havoc in the region.
Located on 120 hectares (297 acres) in the Dordogne near Périgueux, the restored castle offers many of the amenities buyers might expect in a 12th-century castle ruled by the order, including a chapel, massive fireplaces, stained glass windows and a 102-square-meter (1,098-square-foot) gathering hall known as the Knights Room. Many of the original medieval features remain, such as flagstone beamed ceilings, hand-carved wood details and an old granary.
