Bruno Abundanc-Abakanowicz was a mathematician, engineer and inventor who was responsible for the creation of the Neo-Gothic Castles on a French private island, both currently for sale. The property is a mix of lush, untamed vegetation, and is less than half a mile from the mainland. The palace is spread over approximately 3,230 square feet, and a huge garden can be laid out in 2.3 acres of land. There are 200 different species of trees, shrubs and flowers on the small island.
The island was long a meeting place for members of the Polish intelligentsia living in France and the castle was a source of inspiration for writers, including writer Henryk Sienkiewicz. Quo VadisFirst published in 1895 (the year the palace was built). This book will be translated into many languages and will prove to be successful at the international level. The author was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1905. Architecturally, the Breton building extends over four levels and a basement, with period features such as the perfectly preserved Knights’ Hall. An impressive reception hall and a banquet hall add to its grandeur.
In terms of modern amenities, the five-bedroom home also has a TV room, multiple terraces, a fitness room, a heated swimming pool with massage jets and a separate outbuilding for guests. As a private island, there are also two sandy beaches where you can swim in peace and quiet. Two docks make it easy to travel by boat between the island and the mainland, while during low tide, the island can also be reached on foot or by 4×4 vehicles.
