Wedding Chateau Demolished In Error

Polish builders have demolished an 18th Century chateau popular for weddings by mistake.

The Bordeaux building belonging to Russian businessman Dmitry Stroskin had been due to be renovated to its former glory when the builders knocked it down instead of the adjacent outhouse which was due to be demolished.


Located within a vineyard estate, Chateau de Bellevue was 13,000 sq, it featured grand horseshoe steps and a ballroom.

"The Chateau de Bellevue was Yvrac's pride and joy, the whole village is in shock," former owner Juliette Marmie told Associated Press. "How can this construction firm make such a mistake?"

An angry Mr Stroskin plans to rebuild the Chateau.
