The domain of L’Abrègement
A medieval fief at Bioussac in the Charente, transformed in the eighteenth century and deeply restructured around the mid-nineteenth with a ground-floor gallery and a neo-Gothic chapel, listed in 2014 as a whole domain.
From the source
Domaine de l'Abrègement is a château at Bioussac, Charente, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The recorded building campaigns date from the 18th and 19th 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 concentrates on the house and chapel — chimneypieces, parquet, panelling, stained glass, murals and furnishings — and the 2014 listing covers the domain in its entirety, including the ground of parcels that may hold archaeological remains, excluding only the modern swimming pool. The grounds are thus protected as part of the whole, but the record does not describe them.
