The couple began the renovation project when the castle was almost abandoned. Work started with restoring the rooms, refurbishing architectural details and interiors, particularly antique features such as the roof tiles, windows, and walkways.

After construction was completed, the castle became a popular tourist destination and a venue for weddings and special events. They created separate spaces for visitors and organized activities such as art, design, and cooking classes.

Château de la Motte-Husson is not only a historic building but also a testament to the power of heritage restoration and the reinvention of old spaces. The story of Dick and Angel Strawbridge is a great source of inspiration for those who love history, architecture, and stories of heritage renewal.
