Château de Buzignargues

En un regard

Le château en bref

Set on the banks of the Bénovie, where it doubtless guarded a ford, the Château de Buzignargues is a privately owned 17th-century residence, begun in the first half of the century by the lords of Guilleminet. Its H-shaped plan, uncommon for the period, is accompanied by defensive features inherited from medieval tradition: moats, arrow slits, a false machicolation over the entrance and the remains of a corner turret. Inside survive a room with a painted ceiling, a Louis XV-style salon with a fireplace, and an oratory decorated with trompe-l'œil. The château, together with its gardens and terraces, has been listed as a monument historique since 19 August 2010.
