En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château des Quatre-Vents stands east of the village of Vouneuil-sous-Biard (Vienne), overlooking the Boivre valley. The site, mentioned as a métairie (farm) dependent on the estate of La Sablonière in a deed of 1760, passed to the Durant de La Pastellière family and then, in 1823, to the magistrates Nicolas de Sigon. A deed of 1839 describes a manor house with enclosed land, vineyards and two farms. The present house is the result of a reconstruction at the end of the nineteenth century for the Nicolas de la Rinière family, altered around 1925. It is distinguished by its steep slate roof, its symmetrically ordered façade and a rich sculpted decoration. Private property, not open to visitors.
