Château de Farsac

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Farsac is an isolated manor house at the locality of Farsac, in the commune of Eymoutiers, Haute-Vienne (Nouvelle-Aquitaine). It was the seat of a former fief whose lords owed homage to the Bishop of Limoges. Acquired in 1392 by Pierre Romanet of Eymoutiers, it was remodelled from the fifteenth to the seventeenth century, and again in the nineteenth century. A chapel was added at the beginning of the seventeenth century, after the marriage of Joseph Romanet to Louise de Villelerme, and stables were built in 1827 under Emmanuel Jean de Brugière, known as the Chevalier de Farsac. Built of granite and roofed with slate, the building comprises a basement and two square storeys. Its roofs combine hipped, pavilion and conical roofs, and it is served by a half-projecting spiral staircase as well as a second staircase. The château is a private property and is not open to visitors; it is listed in the General Inventory of Cultural Heritage (Mérimée notice IA00031162).
