About

The Château d'Esclimont is a historic château that is located in the commune of Auneau-Bleury-Saint-Symphorien (formerly Saint-Symphorien-le-Château), in the French department of Eure-et-Loir in the Centre-Val de Loire region. The château was built in the 16th century for Étienne Poncher, the Archbishop of Tours, and was extensively remodeled in the 19th century by Sosthène II de La Rochefoucauld. The castle was sold by the La Rochefoucauld family in 1981 and was converted into a luxury hotel.
