History CHATEAU CARDOUX is listed as an
Historical Residence of Character of the On the river’s left bank
it sits east-south-east of Lalinde, on the departmental road D8E4, on the way
to Molières, in a huge “sea of woods”. It is one of the main
properties of the SAINT-EXUPERY’s. The château’s foundations
date back to the 13th century and possibly even earlier. In the 15th century
its military architecture was restructured due to changes in weaponry. In the
18th and 19th centuries serious alteration work transformed it into what it
is today. The château came into the
Saint-Exupery family when, in 1734, Suzanne de Beaudet married
Etienne-Jacques de Saint-Exupery, born 1715. Since this dowry was given by
Joseph de Beaudet (through his wife, Catherine de Montalembert) for the
marriage of their daughter Suzanne, the Château de Cardoux has remained in
the Saint-Exupery family - which means that it has been in the family for
than 273 years. |
