En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de Sartiges, also known as the Château de Sourniac, stands in Sourniac (Cantal). A medieval fortress, probably dating from the 11th century, was destroyed in the 14th century by the English troops of Robert Knolles. The present building dates from 1636 and combines medieval and Renaissance styles, with a main residential block (logis) flanked by three round towers. Ransacked during the Revolution and restored by Count Louis de Sartiges, it lost an 18th-century service wing in 1885, which was replaced in 1890. The architect René Moreau then built a neo-Romanesque chapel there. It is privately owned and not open to visitors.
