Château de Leymarie stands in Beynac (Haute-Vienne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first quarter of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Built in the early nineteenth century in Haute-Vienne, Château de Leymarie sits on an estate that its owner substantially enlarged through successive land acquisitions. Construction required the demolition of older buildings and the creation of a landscaped park with planted avenues. The château displays a rectangular plan, its two principal facades adorned with pediments and a symmetrical arrangement in which four pilasters frame a central bay divided into three sections.

What to know

The interior contains a grand staircase with wrought-iron railings dating from the eighteenth century, considerably predating the château itself.
Since 1950, the ground floor has housed architectural elements from the Hôtel Bourdeau de Lajudie in Limoges, incorporated into the décor of three main rooms.
The château's outbuildings were constructed after 1823, as evidenced by their absence from the cadastral survey of that year.
