Before telling you about this magnificent château, I'd like to take you on a journey through the history of Saint Céré, a town with a rich past. Its origins date back to the 8th century, linked to the cult of Saint Spérie. The village grew up around a Romanesque church built in the 11th century on the site of her martyrdom. In the Middle Ages, Saint-Céré was a stronghold of the Viscounty of Turenne. The village was later enriched by remarkable personalities such as Antoine Lauricesque, inventor of the rock lever, and Charles Bourseul, forerunner of the telephone.
Did you know? In 1611, in order to reduce the damage caused by the flooding of the river that ran through Saint-Céré, a Dutch engineer had the riverbed divided into several canals at the entrance to the town. This is how the town came to be known as ‘Little Venice of the Lotoise’ for 3 centuries. All these canals were covered up at the end of the last century, except for the most important one, which is now wrongly considered to be the real bed of the Bave.
If you're curious to find out more, this magnificent 12th-century château in the centre of the town, a jewel case of history and charm, covers around 360m² and offers a unique experience combining the charm of the past with modern comforts. On the ground floor, you'll find a vaulted wine cellar, ideal for lovers of fine wines, and two flexible rooms that can be used as cosy lounges or relaxation areas. On the first floor, there is a sleeping area with three comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which is equipped with a sauna for moments of relaxation. On the second floor, the heart of the house opens onto a vast living room of over 70m² with a fireplace, perfect for entertaining guests. A fitted kitchen, two offices (or bedroom) and a storeroom complete this floor. The attic can be converted to create additional space to suit your needs, offering a wealth of possibilities.
An exceptional living environment, enclosed garden with trees, take advantage of the 1600m² garden to relax, grow your own vegetables or organise outdoor meals. Outbuildings, a summer kitchen, a double garage and a barn offer a host of possibilities for conversion (workshop, games room, separate accommodation). With its modern comforts, the manor house benefits from high-performance heating thanks to a heat pump, ensuring optimum comfort all year round.
