Logis de Puygâty

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Logis de Puygâty, in Chadurie, near the former Roman road from Saintes to Périgueux, was built around 1465, during the reign of Louis XI, for François de Lage (or de Laage), lord of Puygâty and councillor at the presidial court of Angoulême, and was later restored by Pierre de Arceluz. The medieval part, dating from the 15th century, is lit by mullioned windows and served by a square stair turret with a spiral staircase; an entrance postern with carriage and pedestrian doors, outbuildings surrounding a courtyard flanked by two towers, and an enclosure wall date from the 17th century, supplemented by alterations in the 19th century. The manor house, the towers, the postern and the enclosure wall are listed as historic monuments. The estate now offers three guest rooms (chambres d'hôtes) for rent.
