Château de Saint-Laurent-le-Minier, Protected historical castle in Saint-Laurent-le-Minier, France.
The castle stands on a promontory at the junction of the Crenze and Vis rivers, forming a ship's bow shape with black glazed tile pavilions.
Pierre de Sarret initiated the construction of this residence in 1664, following its purchase from the Hierle barony by Jean de Bonnail for 8000 livres.
The French formal gardens surrounding the castle incorporate design principles associated with the renowned landscape architect André Le Nôtre of Versailles fame.
The property spans 7 hectares, reduced from its original 250 hectares, containing gardens, an orchard, and a palm grove accessible through guided visits.
The castle's water system included a wooden noria wheel measuring 16 meters in diameter, which operated until 1950 to supply water throughout the estate.
