Château Lescombes, Castle and contemporary art center in Eysines, France.
Château Lescombes is a castle in Eysines built with a main residence and a pavilion arranged around a squared inner courtyard, reflecting the architectural style of the seventeenth century. The structure combines classical French château features with a practical courtyard layout typical of that period.
The Feuillants monastery acquired the property in 1631 and undertook extensive renovations including rebuilding the residence. These early restoration efforts established the foundation for the building's current appearance.
The property now functions as a contemporary art space, presenting rotating exhibitions throughout the year featuring different artists. Visitors experience modern creative works displayed within a historic architectural setting.
The castle is located in Eysines and can be reached by car or public transportation. Visitors should contact the venue or check its website beforehand to confirm opening hours and learn about current exhibitions on display.
In the grounds stands a round seventeenth-century dovecote topped with a stone dome and featuring two raised rings. These rings were specifically designed to prevent rodents from climbing up to the nesting areas.
