Château De Lalande (Indre)
Château de Lalande (also written de la Lande) is a 16th-century château near Crozon-sur-Vauvre, Indre, in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. It was in the historic Provinces of France, province of Berry, France, Berry until 1790. History The current château was built in the 16th century, by the side of a lake. The east wing with its huge square towers, defences and semi-circular tower, dates from this period. The château was once owned by Anne Marie Louise d'Orléans, Duchess of Montpensier, a cousin of Louis XIV known as "La Grande Mademoiselle". Following a fire in the 1860s, a wing of the château was rebuilt and two circular towers were added to the building. The château has a separate private chapel dedicated to Saint Joseph, built in 1865. In the mid-19th century, it was visited by the French novelist George Sand, who described the area as "la vallée noire" (the black valley). It later became the hereditary property of the Marquises de Nadaillac. :fr:Fra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
