Château de Saint-Germain-Lavolps

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Saint-Germain-Lavolps has its origins in the 15th century with the Rochefort-Châteauvert family, before passing in 1522 to the Ussel family through the marriage of Charlotte de Rochefort-Châteauvert to Jean d'Ussel. Bought in 1661 by Antoine de Labarre de Lafeuillade, who probably had the present main residence (logis) built, rebuilt in the third quarter of the 17th century, the estate — then some thousand hectares — remained in the Labarre and then Lachaze families (by marriage in 1741) until 1891. Converted into a farm, an inn and then a school, it was abandoned in 1970 before being restored from 1990 onwards and listed on the historic heritage register in 1999. A private property, it is not open to visitors.
