Château de Saint-Sulpice stands in La Sauvetat-sur-Lède (Lot-et-Garonne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, first quarter of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Perched on a spur overlooking the Lède river, this château in the Lot-et-Garonne brings together two very different periods. The oldest wing, defended by a tower, bears the date 1621 on its gateway, while the La Borie family added a neo-classical wing with a pedimented facade in the early 19th century. Inside, a rare stucco decor combines rural scenes with symbols of the First Empire, including an imperial eagle and a depiction of Napoleon alongside a reference to his son, the Aiglon.
