The history of the Château de Barbarin

Barbarin has evolved architecturally through the succession of lords who occupied it. Several periods can be read on its façade: a medieval watchtower, a 15th-century wing and its painted rooms, a 16th-century round tower, an 18th-century façade pierced with twenty-three windows, not to mention the restored castle farm adjoining the ruins of the barn. Each century has left its mark, and each of these gestures is documented in the archives.
