A ghost-haunted 15th-18th century castle for a spooky weekend getaway

First built in the 15th century, Château de Breuil-Yvain in Orsennes, Indre, was expanded in the 18th century. It’s not only notable for its construction but also for its eventful history and two spectral residents. Though a weekend getaway in a chateau sounds luxurious, consider this a spooky twist: a ghost-haunted castle. The château, inscribed as an Historical Monument, houses the spirits of two haunting apparitions. Some claim to have seen Madame de Maintenon, the late wife of King Louis XIV, and a woman named Marie-Anne roaming the halls. However, there's no specific information suggesting Madame de Maintenon fled to the chateau or that Marie-Anne lost her life in the castle dungeons.
