Château de Rastignac, Neoclassical château in La Bachellerie, France.
The limestone structure features a semi-circular Ionic portico with colonnades and grand staircases leading to the entrance vestibule.
Built between 1811 and 1817, the château endured a five-day fire in 1944 when Nazi forces set it ablaze using phosphorus.
The château incorporates architectural elements from the Louis XVI period and Roman designs, particularly evident in its rotunda and colonnades.
The château now contains seven residential apartments, with an art jewelry workshop and showroom located in the former orangery.
The exterior design bears a strong resemblance to the White House in Washington, possibly due to Thomas Jefferson viewing the architectural plans in 1789.
