Château de Monboucher

En un regard

Le château en bref

Built at the end of the 17th century by the Fontvieille family, probably on the occasion of its ennoblement, the Château de Monboucher stands in the commune of Lamonzie-Saint-Martin, in the Dordogne. In the classical style, it combines a two-storey main building (corps de logis) between pavilions, a modillioned cornice and, in the west pavilion, a square 17th-century chapel. The estate formerly came under the castellany of the Château de Moncuq, of which Hilaire de Fontvieille, Baron of Fontvieille and Moncuq, acquired joint ownership in 1777. Converted into an equestrian stud farm in the 1970s–1980s, it subsequently changed hands several times before being organised, since the 2020s, as a co-ownership of private residences linked to an artists' residency programme focused on contemporary creation.
