Redaktionelle Einordnung

The record describes how the marquis replaced the old manor with the present château, stables, barns and farmyard, surrounded by arable land, vines and woods, and how the interior decoration of the 1750s and 1760s — panelling, stucco, painted canvases of oriental inspiration — makes it the finest eighteenth-century château of the Vic-Bilh. The 1989 listing names the terraces with the vestiges of the clipped-box garden, alongside the façades, the great salon, billiard room and dining room, and the dovecote.
