Fordland, MO — a story in five scenes
The story of a castle on a hill.
Every castle has a story. This one rises from the Missouri Ozarks, a chateau in the old European style where weddings, banquets and celebrations become fairy tales.
BeginI — A Vision
Inspired by a 13th-century French chateau.
Chateau Charmant began as a vision of old Europe in the heart of Missouri: a castle modeled on a magnificent 13th-century French chateau, with the romance, scale and ceremony of the real thing.
II — The Hilltop
High above the Ozarks.
The chateau stands high on a hill above the peaceful Ozark countryside of Fordland. It's rich in atmosphere, with breathtaking views on every side. Truly the Jewel of the Ozarks.
III — The Architecture
Turrets, battlements & arches.
White walls crowned with crenellations. Turrets rising to slate-roofed points. Arched gateways that open onto green lawns and a fountain. An authentic European castle, here in the Missouri hills.
IV — Inside
Step inside, and every room is painted after another castle in Europe.
The chateau is a luxurious experience, a step back in time, so every doorway leads to another chapter.
