En un regard
Le château en bref
The Logis de Nanclas, in Jarnac, dates back to the 16th century; its sundial bears the date 1714. It belonged to the Laisné family, including Isaac Laisné, lord of Nanclas and lieutenant general of the royal armies, who died in 1704, then passed to the Sarlandie family before Anne de Sarlandie brought it as her dowry when she married Pierre Arnaud, procurator at the presidial court of Angoulême. The manor house, which has one upper storey, features a bretèche at the corner of its façade and a gateway with carriage and pedestrian doors decorated with pilasters; a round dovecote with three dormers and a pepper-pot roof recalls the former right of justice attached to the fief. The manor house, its gateway and its dovecote have been listed as historic monuments (inscription) since 1985.
