Former stables of Château de Monséjour

The former stables are the remains of a 17th century château.

The former stables, along with the gate (Impasse du Vieil Abreuvoir) and the Cedar (at the intersection of Avenue de la Lourne and Route des Martres), the only remains of the Château de Montséjour built in the 17th century, surrounded by a park with trees and flowers.

A property owned successively by large local families, including the Petit de Montséjour family, (Jean-Pierre Petit de Montséjour, Mayor of Le Cendre from 1856 to 1871) and the Verdier de Latour family (Edmond Verdier de Latour, Consul of France), the château and its occupants played an important role in the life of the village.

Restored in 1880, the building went to ruin over the course of time. Finally purchased by a developer, the château was destroyed at the end of the 1960s. The land on which it sat was sold and made way for the construction of several land development projects. La Saunière replaced the vines, Les Jardins de Lourme took the place of the château and its park. The Espace Verger du Caire and the former stadium are located in the former orchards.
