En un regard
Le château en bref
Visible from the Aubusson–Chambon road, the Château de l'Étang at La Chaussade (Creuse) follows the traditional 15th-century plan of the Marche region: a main residential building flanked by corner towers and a square stair tower, completed by outbuildings. The lords of Lauzanne held these lands from 1409; the family later split into three branches, settled in Auvergne, the Marche and Brittany. In 1663 Sébastien de Lauzanne obtained permission to have two of his lackeys wear royal livery. A private property, the castle is not open to visitors and is not protected as a historic monument (monument historique).
