A Château steeped in history in the heart of the Loiret region
Since the 15th century, Château du Rollin has watched over the lands of La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin.
At one time a bourgeois residence, at another a holiday resort, and today a venue for events, it retains the elegance of its period architecture, while at the same time embracing modernity.
Every stone and every tree in the park tells a part of its history - discreet, but very much alive.

The origins of Château du Rollin
Built in the 15th century and enlarged in the 19th, Château du Rollin is in the tradition of the finest residences in the Orléans region. It takes its name from a natural spring, the "Rollin", which flows discreetly through the estate before joining the Loire. Surrounded by a vast wooded park, it was originally a private residence, appreciated for its calm, unobstructed views and proximity to Orléans.

A reinvented place, between heritage and hospitality
After several lives and long years of silence, the château has been patiently restored by its current owners, with the aim of reviving its soul and giving it a new vocation. Today, it welcomes weddings, seminars and hotel stays in a setting where history blends with modern comfort. Each event held here continues this history, adding its own emotion to that of the site.
