Castles, mansions, character homes

Find and sell on the leading European network for historic properties.

The cultural heritage of Europe appears boundless. Not only the aristocracy, but also other influential personalities from various eras have profoundly shaped the European architectural landscape over the centuries. In many historic homes, pivotal decisions were made, and significant, small, and even tragic stories unfolded, thereby significantly influencing the development of Europe and its cultural centers.

Today, the often huge and pricey houses are contrasted by the trend of minimalism and reduction, and climate change requires a rethink in all areas of everyday life. Also in the real estate industry. Nevertheless, it is important to preserve this unique heritage and keep it alive in the 21st century. In doing so, modern concepts can open up new possibilities and make the renovation of a historic property ecological and sustainable.

The ideas and needs of prospective buyers are just as individual as a historic property. Using the filter it is possible to search for very specific criteria that are relevant to prospective buyers of castles and heritage properties such as an architectural epoch or a certain property characteristic.
Financing options for castles and palaces
Prospective buyers often inquire about financing options, especially for foreign properties. As a rule, this is not possible; financing issues must always be clarified with a domestic bank. A financing option for the purchase of a foreign property only arises, regardless of the type of property, if sufficient capital and collateral are available.

However, in some countries, such as the Czech Republic, there are special funding opportunities if, for example, the buyer is a non-profit institution and a charitable purpose is pursued with the purchase of a castle. In addition, buyers of a historic property can apply for general subsidies in almost all European countries and benefit from tax advantages. In principle, it is advisable to find out about opportunities and any special programs before buying.
