Le Lardin-Saint-Lazare · Dordogne
The terrace before Château de Peyraux
First mentioned in 1328, Peyraux at Le Lardin-Saint-Lazare is ringed by outbuildings that served as its enceinte; the western wall holds up the terrace facing the château.
From the source
Château de Peyraux is a château at Le Lardin-Saint-Lazare, Dordogne, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The recorded building campaign dates from the 17th century. 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 outbuildings that form the enclosure and seem to have had a military rather than agricultural purpose, a rectangular gatehouse over the southern porch, vaulted cellars that were guard rooms more than cellars, and a round tower that binds these buildings to the western enclosure wall, which retains the terrace facing the château. The date 1688 is cut on the lintel of a byre door. The château was listed in 1948 and the outbuildings in 1974. The terrace is the garden element the record gives.
