Domaine de l'Abrègement, Historical castle and archaeological site in Bioussac, France.
The estate features a main residence with a ground floor gallery, neo-gothic chapel, and traditional decorative elements including fireplaces and wooden floors.
Built between 1750 and 1751 by Colonel Olivier Mathurin d'Hémery, the castle replaced a medieval fortress belonging to the La Rochefoucauld family.
The park displays contemporary sculptures created from salvaged materials by artists Andy Goldsworthy, Antony Gormley, Christian Lapie, and Joel Shapiro.
The domain opens from July 20 to September 22 between 11 AM and 7 PM, with entry fees of 4 euros for adults and 2 euros for children.
The Querceraie section maintains a collection of 170 oak varieties, including 118 species and 20 hybrids planted throughout the grounds.
