CHÂTEAU
Go there and contact
Built in the th century, the castle of Saint-Maixant impresses with its powerful structure and granite walls. The fortress plan is faithful to the local use of high-marchois: a quadrilateral whose eastern facade is flanked by two round towers while the western facade presents a saillie quadrangular tower. The castle has long depended on the Châtellenie of Aubusson, a town only a few kilometres away. It is also associated with the name of La Roche Aymon, one of the representatives, Philibert, made great noise in the th century. Nicknamed "The great devil of Saint-Maixant", he had, among other cruel facts, made his wife strangle in that same castle.
