A fortified castle, entirely renovated and perched on a rocky overhang, near Saint-Flour in the Cantal department. Located on a rocky spur nearly 30 metres above a village since the 12th or 13th centuries, the chateau de Sailhant overlooks a rolling landscape, alternating between pastures and wooded areas. The edifice embraces the triangular shape of its promontory, in the centre of which a garden and a rose garden were created. Although the first mention of the site appears as soon as the year 1000, the initial stone construction was erected in the 12th century in order to replace a wooden structure once located where the current keep stands today. Archival records reveal the structural changes that have been made since the 14th century according to the needs of the moment – mostly defensive during the Hundred Years War and later more aesthetic – by the successive occupying families. The last restoration operation, conducted since the late 1990s until today, made it possible to simultaneously conserve the entire chateau as well as completely reconfigure its interior.
On the property’s northern edge, the monument’s long and slightly curved silhouette, topped with a flagstone roof and framed by six towers with slate roofs, face a keep, which encloses the esplanade, itself surrounded by tall ashlar stone walls built directly on the rock. At the base of the basalt hill that supports the bastion, the village’s few houses are grouped between a river and a small B-road, which leads to the chateau.
The property also includes several parcels of meadows and woods located outside its enclosure wall as well as a waterfall and a natural lake.
