A historic 11th-century castle that survived the French Revolution is selling for the first time in 1,000 years. Take a look inside.

Château de Verteuil belongs to the Rochefoucauld family — a prominent name in French nobility — and has for 1,000 years. Per Britannica, the family has produced multiple dukes and a social reformer who laid the groundwork for French agriculture.

The castle is located in a village in the Southwest of France along the Charente river, about two hours from Paris by train.

Per Patrice Besse, the agency which holds the listing, the castle is about as long as the village it's situated in and overlooks the river.

Patrice Besse says the castle has witnessed a fair bit of history in the millennium since it was built and work has been done to reflect its historical significance.

The first round of restoration work took place in the 1400s after sieges during the Hundred Years' War, which refers to a series of wars between France and England between 1337 and 1453. According to The New York Times, the original structure was destroyed during that war, then rebuilt with the original stones.

In the 1500s, the Rochefoucauld who then owned the castle worked with the King of France, Francois I, to renovate the castle in the Italian Renaissance-style with the help of Italian craftsmen, per the listing.

The most extensive restoration work took place after the French Revolution.

The first floor has a kitchen with coffered ceilings, a vaulted entrance hall, two sprawling lounges, a reception room, and one small bedroom, according to the listing.

Accessible by three different flights of stairs, the second floor has two more lounges and four more bedrooms. Two of those bedrooms are more formal than the rest and have hosted prominent royal figures, according to The New York Times. One of the bedrooms is even called "la chambre Queen Mum" because the Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother stayed there during a visit in 1980, The Times of London reports.

The third floor has the lion's share of bedrooms — nine, per the listing — as well as a marble fireplace, linen room, and a corridor that look out onto the courtyard.

Per The Times, the new owners also have the option to purchase the ornate furnishings, which aren't included in the listing price.

"The buyer will be able to choose from a wide range of furniture, paintings and decorative objects, like 17th-century Italian furniture, a Louis XVI commode, and Murano chandeliers," Besse, the president of Patrice Besse agency, told The Times.

Named after the last king of France, the extravagant lounge has a painted ceiling and chandelier.

King Louis XVI ruled the country from 1774 until 1792 when the monarchy was abolished as an aftermath of the French revolution, historian Jeremy David Popkin wrote for Britannica. He was executed by guillotine in 1793.

The Unicorn Lounge also has a well-decorated ceiling and several large art pieces on the wall.

In its listing, Patrice Besse described the lounges as "intimate" and great places to entertain guests.

Per Patrice Besse, the castle once housed the Unicorn Tapestries that are now on display at the Met Cloisters museum in Manhattan.

Described by the Met as "among the most beautiful and complex works of art from the late Middle Ages that survive" they are made of silk and fine wool and feature the image of a unicorn tied to a tree enclosed by a wooden fence.

American billionaire and philanthropist John D. Rockefeller Jr. bought the artwork in 1929 and donated it to the museum eight years later, per museum records.

The library has vaulted ceilings and is located at the site of a former watchtower, according to the listing.

A hidden staircase from the ground floor leads to an upper level featuring tapestries with scenes from mythology and the coat of arms of the Medici family, the Italian political dynasty.

The castle has multiple chapels dating back to the 11th and 12th centuries, two of which were only discovered in the 20th century, per the listing.

The family restored the main chapel in the late 1800s and replaced the chapel's roof in 2013.
