En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de Leyzarnie is located in Manzac-sur-Vern, a commune that grew up around a priory founded by the Benedictine abbey of Ligueux. The present building, which replaced an older residence long owned successively by the Leybardie, Flageac and then Castaing families, was entirely rebuilt between 1900 and 1908 for Count Henri d'Osmoy, a wealthy Belgian industrialist, to plans by the architect Eugène Pinêtre. The château has a U-shaped plan: a long central block with a projecting forepart and two wings ending in pavilions, with decoration combining Gothic, Renaissance and Art Nouveau reminiscences on a broadly classical layout. The ensemble was listed (inscrit) as a historic monument by order of 1 December 2008. Now owned by a private company, the château, abandoned and badly deteriorated inside, is not open to visitors.
