En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de Moisse, at the place called Moisse in the commune of Bétête (Creuse), was built in 1843 by Claude Amable de Beaufranchet, who had been settled at the Château du Puy since 1816, as an enlarged copy of that residence. His son Ernest inherited the estate in 1854 and greatly expanded its lands, which grew to 1,100 hectares. After Ernest's accidental death in 1882, his son Fernand carried out major extension works between 1878 and 1884, directed by the architect Jean Bélizaire Moreau of Moulins; Countess Geneviève de Barral, Fernand's younger daughter, subsequently inherited the property. The central building, with three projecting bays, was completed during this renovation with two wings and Louis XIII-style towers. The estate preserves about ten well-kept farm outbuildings.
