En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de Montagrier, at Saint-Bonnet-de-Bellac (Haute-Vienne), is a reconstruction from the first quarter of the 19th century: the old château, in ruins at the beginning of the century, was rebuilt from 1815 and completed in 1819. The south façade has a central projecting bay surmounted by a triangular pediment, and the north façade a rotunda. The interior retains an Empire-style decor, including a rotunda hall with a colonnade of ‘Retour d’Égypte’ capitals in lotus flowers, and an inlaid parquet floor. The park contains two pavilions, a sheepfold with a portico of sixteen Doric columns, a metal cage for exotic animals, and a fountain with a dolphin’s-head spout.
