Redaktionelle Einordnung
Rebuilt entirely in 1884 after several fires, the château has kept only the Tour de la Librairie from the old house: a round tower with the chapel where Montaigne had his children baptised, his bedroom, a small study with traces of painting, and the library where the fifty-six maxims he had painted on the oak beams survive. That tower, with its adjoining terrace and balustrade, was classified in 1952. The 2009 listing extends to the château, its court, the old mill, the parcels of the park around the house with their walls and terraces, the garden gate and the avenue leading to the village.
Empfehlung
The terrace beside the tower is the one place where Montaigne’s own view has not been rebuilt.
