To make a day of it

Château de la Barde stands in Saint-Sulpice-le-Dunois (Creuse), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

Overlooking the Creuse valley in the commune of Saint-Sulpice-le-Dunois, the Château de la Barde stands on a site that has been occupied for centuries, though written records only go back to the 15th century. The building seen today is believed to date from the early 19th century, when the Merle de la Brugière family had it rebuilt in its present form. What makes the place notable is the long line of families associated with it, from the lords of Villars to its current owners, including clergymen and military officers along the way.
