Understanding the chateau of Assier
• The diffusion of the Italian model. Together
with Assier, the neighbouring chateaux at Montal and Puyguilhem in the
Périgord show how a new way of living was adopted by the French
nobility.
• Rescuing a dismantled chateau. In
1768, the Duke of Uzès, Galiot de Genouillac’s descendant, kept the
still extant wing for agricultural purposes but sold most of the
chateau to building material merchants. It was listed in 1841 by
Mérimée, the General Inspector for Historic Monuments, and the ruins
were bought by the State in 1934.
