Château de Saint-Vincent

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Saint-Vincent, in the village of Chanterelle (Saint-Vincent-de-Salers, Cantal), consists of a main building flanked to the south by a massive square tower and to the north by a round tower, with a moulded pointed-arch doorway and mullioned windows. It appears to date from the 15th century. The lower rooms preserve remains of frescoes bearing the arms of the du Fayet de la Tour family; the great hall retains 17th-century bas-reliefs (the Judgement of Solomon, Judith and Holofernes). Its owners were the Chanterelle family, then Antoine du Saillant (1470), the Valens, the Tautal and the d'Escorailles.
