(Google Translate) In Hälsingland, where the Ljusnan river winds its way through the landscape, lies this fantastic property – an old trading house from 1886 in central Arbrå. Completely renovated in collaboration with a conservator with, among other things, hand-printed tapestries throughout the house, cardboard stretched ceilings, of which the hall has a beautiful ceiling painting. The wallpapers are reprints of models from the early years of the house, mostly found in the lowest layers of wallpaper. Between 1890 and 1980, the area’s well-known shoe store was located on the ground floor and it is still the same with a grocery counter and safe. 
Taking a quick break from château hunting to bring you this wonderful historic home in Sweden. It is a stunner inside and out and I looooooove that the owners tried to keep it as original as possible when they renovated after a fire in 2017. All of those wallpapers…..it really brings this home to life. For sale via Historiska Hem.

This half-timbered mansion with Renaissance façades on the outskirts of a village on the banks of the Saône River in the Franche-Comté region is 15 minutes from the town of Vesoul. In a quiet village street, an entrance gate and wicket gate lead through the stone boundary wall into a garden surrounding the L-shaped mansion with a square tower. The mansion has three levels, the last of which is an attic in the roof space. With floor space of 520 m², it is made up of nine main rooms including five bedrooms. Extending from a long covered patio that you can reach via the kitchen, there is an imposing barn looking out onto meadows and woodland. Opposite the covered patio, another outbuilding houses an old bread oven. To the rear of this building, a second patio, also covered, overlooks the surrounding area and is adjacent to the swimming pool.
The details in this home are incredible, and would be even more so if you removed about 24 flower arrangements :). For sale via Patrice Besse for €980,000.

Formerly a customs post for controlling merchandise on the Canal du Midi, the building was bought by a noble family from Toulouse who, with the help of an Italian architect, completely redesigned the building based on the Italian palazzi to make it more comfortable. Grand staircase, private courtyard, orangery. Today, this property is a sleeping beauty surrounded by enchanting parkland. The château comprises 3 floors of 420 m² each and more than 1,000 m² of outbuildings.
I know I would be quite happy living here and breathing new life into this beauty. Located in Castelnaudary in southern France and for sale via Poncet & Poncet for €1,250,000.

This spectacular castle, declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest, was built in 1894 and was designed by a renowned architect of the Catalan bourgeoisie. The castle has an eclectic style, with a certain classicist tendency, close to the modernism that was fashionable at the time. It is dominated by an imposing round tower, with slate roofs and a beautiful attached chapel. Currently, the castle is a private building , whose renovation and restoration works began in 2014 and ended in 2018. It is 1,966m² on 15.6ha, with 19 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms and a guest house. A little pricey at €3,490,000 but for all that space and renovated so beautifully I had to share. For sale via Lucas Fox.
