En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de Salvanet stands in the commune of Saint-Priest-Taurion (Haute-Vienne, Nouvelle-Aquitaine). A classical building constructed between 1773 and 1776 by the architect Joseph Brousseau and his brother Mathurin, it features an Italianate terrace decorated with granite balusters. Acquired in 1509 by the Dalesme de Châtelus family, who kept it for more than three centuries despite the damage and arrests suffered during the Revolution, it was sold in 1849 to the Talamon family, who added a mansard storey and installed modern amenities. In 1869, Adrien-Charles Calley Saint-Paul, related by marriage to the scientist Louis-Joseph Gay-Lussac, became its owner; his descendants, notably through the Fleury and Laguiche families, succeeded one another there up to the present owner, Ghislaine de Laguiche. The estate, which originally extended over some 300 hectares with a park, kitchen gardens, greenhouses, farms and two ponds along the Taurion, has been listed as a monument historique since 1989.
