The castle was built at the end of the 15th century and was sold as a national property in 1796. It is formed of a quadrangular corps de logis flanked on the north side by two large cylindrical towers; the tops were removed during the French Revolution. The south side is flanked by a polygonal tower with a spiral staircase. The entrance doorway and the bay which opens above it, are framed with pinnacledpilasters and decorated with cabbages.[1]
The castle has suffered much damage and deterioration over the centuries, from the Hundred Years' War to the French Revolution. The ruins were bought in 1862 by the great-great-grandfather of the present owner, who has restored it.[2]
Inside are chimney places and a Шаблон:Lang[1] (French-style ceiling: joists the same width as the spaces between them; see Plafond à la française in French Wikipedia).
The Château de Calamane is privately owned. It has been listed since 1929 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.[1] Though not generally open to the public, parts are opened on special heritage days.[2]
