En un regard
Le château en bref
Marobert Castle, also spelt Mas Robert, lies in the commune of Vitrac, in the Périgord Noir. A first castle was sacked and set on fire on 3 June 1574 by a Protestant expedition, then rebuilt at the end of the sixteenth century by Captain Bordes. The marriage, in 1660, of Olympe de Bordes to Armand d'Abzac, seigneur de La Feuillade, passed the estate to the d'Abzac family. It then changed hands several times before being acquired around 1895 by Jean de Boysson, who had it restored. Access is by an avenue of chestnut trees. The buildings surround a courtyard: a square two-storey wing and an elongated three-storey wing, flanked by a square tower with paired windows, a round tower with a conical roof, and a rectangular tower added at the end of the nineteenth century. Privately owned, it is not open to visitors.
