Private Tour of Eyrignac Manor with its Owner. Not Open to the Public.

Join us on an exclusive journey inside the Eyrignac Manor, a 17th-century architectural marvel, nestled in the heart of the Dordogne region of France.
If Eyrignac gardens are pretty famous and largely open for the public, this special episode of So Châteaux is a rare opportunity to have a look inside the Eyrignac Manor, typically closed to the public.
The owner, Patrick Sermadiras, opens its doors for an intimate tour.
Discover the rich history and architectural significance of the manor, which was rebuilt on the ruins of a medieval castle destroyed during the Civil Wars of La Fronde. The current manor, more bourgeois than noble, reflects a peaceful era with its linear design, numerous windows for natural light, and a central staircase replacing the traditional spiral tower-a symbol of nobility in the past. Notably, the weather vanes and family crest, including a unicorn symbol, add to the manor's unique character.
Venture through the enclosed courtyard with its yellow sand, mirroring the ochre facade of the manor, and explore the two pavilions that flank the courtyard. The Dovecote pavilion signifies the wealth of the Lord, while the Romanesque family chapel, still consecrated and actively used for family baptisms, connects us to the estate's medieval origins.
Immerse yourself in the story of the Sermadiras family, who have lovingly maintained this estate for 22 generations. Patrick Sermadiras, the current custodian, reveals personal anecdotes and insights into the daily life and upkeep of this historic residence.
Don't miss this unique opportunity to step inside the private world of the Eyrignac Manor, a jewel in the French countryside.
