From the source
Château de Malvirade is a château at Grézet-Cavagnan, Lot-et-Garonne, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The recorded building campaigns date from the 17th, 19th and 20th centuries. It is protected as a monument historique at the second level (inscrit). Details are drawn from the Base Mérimée of the French Ministry of Culture.
Editorial reading
The record describes a main block with two pavilions and a return wing, and singles out a room in the south pavilion whose beams are painted with scenes of tropical hunting and a frieze of military trophies; that painted decoration was listed in 1995. Nothing is said of the grounds. The clipped hedges before the house are documented only by the photograph.
