Château de Pompadour et Ecuries de l’Orangerie

Rebuilt in the 15th century on the feudal mound, Château de Pompadour was remodelled in the 18th century. In 1745, it was given the title of Marquise to the famous favourite of Louis XV. Partly destroyed during the Revolution, it was destroyed by fire in the 19th century.
All that remains of this important fortress is the south wing and the outer wall. The facade, with its machicolated battlements, is flanked by large pepper-pot towers.
An entrance châtelet leads to a wide terrace surrounded by moats and flanked by seven low towers. It currently houses a stud farm, first royal in 1764 and then national in 1872.
