Château de Saint-Hilaire

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Saint-Hilaire occupies the central position of a co-seigneurial enclosure shared with the neighbouring Château des Plas, in Curemonte. Built from the 13th century onwards by the Saint-Hilaire family — of whom Gérald paid homage to the Viscount of Turenne in 1305 — and added to until the 18th century, it is distinguished by its three round towers crowned with machicolations, whereas those of Plas are square. It passed to the Aymard de Lostanges and then, through the marriage of Gabriel de Cardaillac and Anne de Plas in the 16th century, to the Cardaillac family; in the 20th century it became the property of Colette Renée de Jouvenel, daughter of the writer Colette, who stayed with her mother in Curemonte during the Second World War. Private property.
