Château de Lasvy

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Lasvy, a well-preserved Renaissance-period building, is located in the commune of Champsanglard, in the Creuse. Léon Chagnaud, engineer and senator for the Creuse, acquired it in 1898 and renovated it; he died there in 1930. The estate still belongs to the Chagnaud family, which has remained its owner since the late 19th century. The building comprises a simple and elegant main residence flanked by two corner towers on the east side, a chapel on the west side and a moat on the north side; the plain south façade has three levels, each pierced by five openings, and access is through a gatehouse (châtelet) with pink-rendered walls. The interior retains painted beams and period decorative features. Not protected as a historic monument, the château is surrounded by meadows, ponds and coppices.
