Pierre Levée Castle
Highlight • Other
The castle was built in the 18th century by Luc Pezot. A rich and ambitious bourgeois, he was in turn one of the city's great financiers, a shipowner, alderman and receiver of taxes. It was in the 1770s that he decided to build a country house in a place called “La Pierre Levée”.
Inspired by the lines of the Petit Trianon of Versailles, Luc Pezot dared to build a castle of royal stature in order to lead a princely life there while the kingdom was on the verge of bankruptcy and the people in poverty. Luc Pezot dies without an heir. After the revolution, the castle became the property of the Auvynet family, whose descendants still occupy the walls today.
Since the 1940s, the castle has been listed as a historic monument. (wikipedia
