Castelsoutro de Vic

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Castelsoutro (low castle) of Vic-sur-Cère, in the Cantal department, is a former castle located along the N122 national road, inside the village. The present main residential building (corps de logis), oblong with two full storeys beneath the roof space, was built or rebuilt in the first half of the 16th century, at the time when the inheritance of Francis I turned the local bailiwick into a royal jurisdiction; the eastern part was modernised in the mid-19th century. The castle belonged notably to Guillaume and then Jehan Teilhard (1562-1646), then to François Pagès (1716-1793), before passing to the La Garde de Saignes family in the 19th century. Listed (inscrit) as a historic monument by order of 11 June 1990, the castle is not open to visitors.
