HISTORY
The hamlet where the Château is situated is ancient and was first recorded by the Romans. The Knights of Malta were lords of the manor for a long period, and were probably succeeded by the Templars. The first temporal lords of the manor were the ancient and wealthy Siregand family, who came into possession of these lands in 1633.
Joseph Jean Pierre Gaston de Siregand, Count d’Erce and Vicomte d’Aulus was the first chatelain of the current house. Construction started probably around 1770 and was completed in the 1780s. The family survived the revolution with most of its possessions intact.
In the 19th century the house passed into the possession of other families usually through marriage in the female line and has always been inhabited. It underwent a major refurbishment and redecoration around 1840, and what you see today would be totally recognisable to the owners of that time.
