Château Peyronnet stands in Saint-Louis-de-Montferrand (Gironde), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second quarter of the 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
The château Peyronnet stands in Saint-Louis-de-Montferrand, in the Gironde department, built in the neoclassical style typical of the second quarter of the 19th century. It was erected for Pierre-Denis de Peyronnet, Minister of Justice, on the site of an earlier family residence. The complex combines a rectangular main building flanked by corner pavilions, outbuildings arranged at right angles around a courtyard closed by a gate, and a neo-Gothic chapel with ribbed vaulting and an octagonal lantern. The interiors, altered in the 1990s, no longer retain their original decoration.
What to know
- The château has been a listed historic monument since 2005, covering its façades, roofs, the courtyard, the gate and the chapel in its entirety.
- Construction took place in two phases: one led by architect Pierre Laclote between 1826 and 1828, the other by Pierre-Alexandre Poitevin from 1834, notably for the chapel.
- The interiors of the château and outbuildings were entirely redone in the 1990s, so they no longer reflect the original decor.
- No verified information is available regarding opening hours, admission fees or visiting arrangements.
