En un regard
Le château en bref
Château de Montméry stands in the commune of Ambazac (Haute-Vienne, Nouvelle-Aquitaine). Built in 1885 for Théodore Haviland, a porcelain manufacturer from Limoges, it is attributed to the American architect Richard Morris Hunt, who also designed the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty. The park, laid out between 1889 and 1890 by the American landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, contains more than a hundred species of trees and shrubs from around the world, including Japanese andromeda, oaks and silver limes, and is crossed by a river. The façades, roofs, entrance pavilion, basement and the first three interior storeys are listed as Monuments historiques. The estate, still privately owned, has served as a filming location for Providence (1977), Les Destinées sentimentales and Lady Chatterley (2006).
