The Château de la Couronne dates back to the 12th century, closely linked to the nearby Abbey of La Couronne. The estate suffered major damage during the Hundred Years' War (1337–1453). In 1449, Bertrand Farinard acquired the estate, later passing it to his daughter Louise as a dowry when she married Mathieu de Chambes in 1564. By the late 1600s, it remained in the Chambes family before passing through the Viaud, Modernard, and De Fornel families. In the late 1800s, the De Fornels renovated the château, adding turrets, slate roofs, and formal gardens with yew alleys, fountains, and exotic trees. During World War II, the château housed French troops in the Vichy Zone. In the 1970s, it became a residential training centre and summer camp — later inspiring the film Nos Jours Heureux. The Cooper family began restoration in the 1990s. In 2023, Lucy and Ben Butler purchased the château and transformed it into a luxury destination wedding venue following extensive renovations of over €1 million.
