Fans of "Angels and Demons" and its predecessor, "The Da Vinci Code", will undoubtedly be drawn to this castle for sale in France.

Château de La Jarthe was once a refuge for the Order of the Knights Templar, the secretive Christian military order that once caused mayhem in the region.

Located on 120 hectares sqm in the Dordogne near Périgueux, the restored castle offers many of the amenities buyers might expect from a 12th-century castle, including a chapel, massive fireplaces, stained glass windows and a 102-sqm gathering hall known as the Knights Room.

The castle is priced at about US$7.85million according to the developers, La Perla International.
