Château du Breuil

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château du Breuil, at Grives in the Dordogne, is a chartreuse whose stair tower, older than the rest of the building, bears witness to an earlier 16th-century residence; the main block, dating from the 17th century, has an axially symmetrical east façade marked by a doorway with a Doric entablature and a segmental pediment. Having passed from the Lageard de Grézignac family to the Debord family, it retains traces of a series of fleurs-de-lis chiselled off during the Revolution, as well as a chapel with a mansard roof added in the 19th century. Listed as a historic monument since 2007, it remains private property.
