En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de Vaugoubert, at Quinsac in the Dordogne, succeeded a fortified manor house of the 15th century, of which two defensive towers survive. The present building was constructed around 1730 by Antoine d'Aydie, who was born at the château in 1687. Implicated in a plot against the Regent, Philippe d'Orléans, he went into exile in Spain before being granted an amnesty and returning to his native country. A round 16th-century tower overlooks a terrace open to the Dronne valley. A privately owned residence, the château has been listed as a Monument Historique since 1948.
