Château de Vaux

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Vaux, in Saint-Julien-du-Pinet in Haute-Loire, retains a late fourteenth-century keep, the medieval core around which the estate developed. In 1653 the property passed to the Jourda de Vaux family, whom the Inventaire entry still records as owners at the end of the twentieth century. The present appearance results from a major campaign at the end of the nineteenth century: the older buildings were demolished in 1893, and the château was rebuilt in 1893–1894 by the architect Martin, while the architect Monnier remodelled the park. The interior received a decorative scheme by the painter Mayoli in 1895. The protected rooms include the grand vestibule, the staircase of honour, the library, the chapel, the Gothic salon, the Salon des Batailles and the Chambre aux Salamandres. The château has been listed as a Monument historique since 24 May 1996 and remains privately owned.
