Château de la Petite Filolie

En un regard

Le château en bref

Nestled on the right bank of the Vézère, opposite the Château de la Fleunie, the Château de la Petite Filolie arranges around its courtyard a quadrangular plan inherited from the late Middle Ages; it is already mentioned under this name in 1485. Its north-west round tower pierced with arrow slits and its square tower with a conical roof bear witness to a clear defensive purpose. In the 17th century, a Renaissance wing and a main residential building came to soften this martial architecture, giving the whole the appearance of a "chasteau noble", as François de Milon already described it in 1648. The castle has come down through the centuries through a succession of owners, from the Milon family to the Gilles-Lagrange, de la Croze, Rousselet and Peyrou families.
