History

Five centuries of history

A modest Renaissance building, the château is a detailed example of early 16th-century architecture: an elegant tower, a cornice with medallions, a gabled roof and former moats.

“Château Le Sallay was the estate of lords who answered directly to the King.”
Meet the owners
  1. Early 15th c. First records: the nobleman Pierre de la Motte and his wife Jeanne de Tallé.
  2. 1484 Jean Barbier, his brother and their sister Denise become lords of Le Sallay.
  3. Late 15th c. The estate passes to the Le Thor family, whose entire lineage is known.
