The idea

An unforgettable day at an unforgettable place. Chateau Charmant is a castle in the European style, inspired by a magnificent 13th-century French chateau, and built for the romance, scale and ceremony of the real thing.

High on a hill, far from everything.

The castle stands on a hilltop above the peaceful Ozark countryside, with breathtaking views on every side. Below the roofs, a courtyard; beyond the walls, the green Missouri hills.
