En un regard
Le château en bref
On a spur overlooking the Lède valley, at La Sauvetat-sur-Lède, the Château de Saint-Sulpice combines two periods in a T-shaped plan. The north–south range dates from the 17th century and retains a defensive tower and a courtyard gateway dated 1621. At the beginning of the 19th century, a second neoclassical range was added, decorated with stucco and interiors in the First Empire style. An ice house completes the estate.
The La Borie family owned the property from the 17th to the 20th century. Its best-known member, Jean-François de Laborie, born in 1760, married Marie-Julie de Raffin, daughter of the Marquis d'Hauterive, in 1786, and served as mayor of Villeneuve-sur-Lot from 1800 to 1813.
The château is protected as a monument historique (Mérimée database entry PA47000072).
