Le château en bref
The château de Balivet, in the hamlet of L'Huis Billard near Liernais, in the Morvan, was built in the 19th century. The main residential building, on two levels with an attic storey with three dormer windows, is flanked at its corners by two slender, tall towers of three levels topped with conical roofs. At the rear, an octagonal tower centred on the main building houses a spiral staircase lit by windows on each side and level; originally fitted with medieval-style crenellations, it was topped in the early 20th century with a glazed belvedere. The estate includes a large park with two ponds, farm outbuildings, a pond and an ice house at the rear. Owned by the Balivet de Régloix family and in a good state of preservation, it is not protected as a historic monument but is considered to be of great importance in the life of the local community.
