Château de Jaure

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Jaure, in the Isle valley, was originally the fortified house of a fief dependent on the castellany of Grignols, held by the Talleyrand family from the 13th century. Rebuilt after the destruction of the Hundred Years' War (siege of Grignols in 1376), it consisted of a main block flanked by two square towers, with a wall-walk and a moat, to which round towers, a curtain wall and a dovecote tower were added in the 15th century. Dormer windows and mullioned windows were added in the 16th–17th centuries. The residence, ravaged by fire, was rebuilt in the 19th century under the direction of the Russian general Nicolas Obroutchev, who died there in 1904. Private property.
