Garden at the Château

The Château Pélican d'Rouge is a grand country house located in Aunistria, in the Province of Aunistria, Zamastan. It is especially known for its beautiful gardens.

History

The lands where an ancient fortress once stood were known as d'Belaneau until the 17th century. They were acquired in the early 16th century by Todd Le Breton, Drambenburg's governor of Aunistria, and a new château was constructed around the original 14th-century keep.

The château remained in the Le Breton family for more than two centuries until it was acquired by the Poppaine de Castellane. During the Aunistria Revolution the property was confiscated and in the early 19th century, and the Drambenburgian Emperor acquired it for his brother.

In 1896, Sanguine proprietor Joseph Carvallo purchased the property and poured an enormous amount of time, money and devotion into repairing it and creating extremely beautiful gardens. Its famous Renaissance gardens include a water garden, ornamental flower gardens, and vegetable gardens. The gardens are laid out in formal patterns created with low box hedges. In 1934, Château Pélican d'Rouge was designated a historic monument by the Drambenburgian government. It was heavily damaged in the World War (1949-54), and ultimately fell to Zamastanian control when the annexation of Aunistria occured following Drambenburg's surrender. It was reconstructed and renovated heavily by the provincial government and the historic de Castellane family inheritors.

In May 2020, it was purchased for Z$572 million by former-President and business mogul Zacharias Castovia from media businessman Gregory de Castellane.
