Château de Soubrey

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Soubrey, which the protection notice calls Soubreys, stands in the commune of Salettes, in the Haute-Loire. It retains the remains of a feudal residence built in the 14th and 15th centuries: two parallel residential wings linked by a curtain wall enclosing a courtyard, each flanked by a large tower at the east corner. In the north-east tower, a chapel with ribbed vaulting occupies the ground floor, and a square building was added to the north-west. Sold during the Revolution, in the year III, the site is said to have interested General Colomb, who wished to establish a base there, but the condition of the building is said to have dissuaded him. Partly rebuilt in the 19th century, it was subsequently used as a farm. Privately owned, it has been listed as a monument historique by order of 21 June 1994.
