Ref. 4278 : Magnificient 15th & 18th c. listed castle, for sale, in Dordogne This magnificent chateau dates back to the 14th century and is located in the Dordogne, between Brive and Périgueux. Nestling on a hillside overlooking the River Auvézère, it enjoys a beautiful, peaceful setting. The property spans more than 29 acres of parklands and gardens, woods, a pond and numerous buildings (caretaker's cottage, barn, stables and henhouse ....). Originally, this area probably housed a fortified house, built to watch over and protect the ford crossings between the Limousin and Périgord regions. At the end of the Hundred Years' War (1337-1453), this fortification lost its raison d'être. In 1521, Pascal Dolce, a native of Béarn, set up a forge along the Auvézère, near the now obsolete fortifications. Under the management of his successor, Noël Souvelin, the forge prospered. Souvelin probably obtained the concession for the old, abandoned fortification and undertook extensive work to transform it into a residence. His daughter Marguerite married François Pasquet, a merchant from Excideuil, in 1539. The Pasquet family then took charge of the castle and forge for several generations. Jean Pasquet, their eldest son, served Kings Henry III and Henry IV as a knight. His imprint is visible throughout the castle and garden, whether through his motto ('Spes mea deus') or his representation as the 'Knight with the white feather'. In 1656, following a marriage, the castle and forge came under the ownership of the de Lubersac family. During the French Revolution, the château was abandoned and became national property. It wasn't until 1819 that Louis Combescot, ancestor of the current owner and master blacksmith at the Bord ponds, bought the forge and the château, both of which were in an advanced state of disrepair.He and his descendants set about clearing away the irreparable ruins resulting from decades of neglect.The family moved into the château, and the forge remained in operation for over a century, until the last iron was poured from the blast furnace in 1930. In its current structure, the château comprises a central main building, set between two round towers, and a wing set at right angles to this building. The large courtyard and the parkland that extends from it are bounded to the west by the buildings used as outbuildings. The west facade of the main building features mullioned windows on both floors and two dormer windows opening into the attic; these dormer windows are topped by pediments with solid tympanums. The angled south-facing building dates from the 17th and 18th centuries but was rebuilt on earlier foundations. Behind this wing, a square pavilion was added in the 19th century, blending in with the rest of the building. On the east facade, overlooking the river and the forge, the two towers of unequal diameter were probably originally linked by a curtain wall. As on the west facade, the main building between them features mullioned windows and dormer windows with ornate pediments. The architectural load of the junction between the north tower and the main building is supported by a horn, in the hollow of which is nestled a sculpture representing the tortured face of a figure wearing a draped headdress. The Renaissance gateway, which has been rebuilt in the grounds, symbolises the Italianate style of the late 16th century with its many sculptures. A cartouche in the centre of the entablature bears the castle's motto 'SPES MEA DEUS'. The château has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1979, and is closely linked to the forge, whose origins probably date back to the end of the Hundred Years' War. It was built between the 14th and 16th centuries and comprises a main building flanked by two cylindrical towers. On the façade of the main building, a beautiful Renaissance door framed by two columns supporting a triangular pediment opens onto a straight barrel-vaulted staircase. The current owners' dwelling is set at right-angles to the house and faces north/south over three floors. Built on an earthwork and cellar for the towers, the castle spans approx. 640 sqm of living space and comprises : For the east/west-facing wing: Ground floor with 4 m high ceilings: -An entrance hall and a vast lounge with exposed beams and monumental stone fireplace, parquet flooring. -A study in the tower giving access to the château's dungeons.
