Château de Sainte-Croix

The castle presents a classical design with a two-level main building, flanked by pavilions and topped with shell-decorated dormers on its tiled roof.

The Laulanié de Sainte-Croix family constructed this castle at the end of the 17th century while operating the forges de la Mouline on the Couze River.

The castle's original salon displayed Aubusson tapestries depicting La Fontaine's fables, which are now preserved at the Cognacq-Jay Museum in Paris.

The private estate spans 190 hectares, including 90 hectares of woodland, 100 hectares of agricultural land, and contains multiple outbuildings from the original period.

The property features a 14th-century presbytery and maintains its monumental gate leading to an honor court framed by large period stables.
