To make a day of it

Château du Général Lamarque stands in Saint-Sever (Landes), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

In Saint-Sever, in the Landes, this neo-classical residence was built between 1810 and 1820 for General Jean Maximilien Lamarque, a local-born officer who became a count under Napoleon. The building stands out for its massive outline, flanked by two square turrets, and for its entrance framed by Tuscan columns, with a gate still bearing the general's monogram beneath the comital crown. The rue Louis Sentex now runs through what was once a single estate, separating the main house from the former stables.
