Le château en bref
The Château de Vauchaussade, in the commune of Le Compas (Creuse), dates from the 15th and 19th centuries. It comprises a large main building with a staircase tower on its façade, extended at the rear by two unequal, perpendicular wings, a terrace with a crenellated retaining wall, a round tower, a pavilion, stables and a barn; interior decoration survives on the first floor. Count Jean-François de Durat was born there in 1736 and died there in 1830. The estate and the château were registered as historic monuments by order of 7 January 2009.
