Larressingle

The story of a castle and a passionate family for five generations… In the eleventh century, the Larressingle property was a fortified village, consisted of farms. Today, the castle does not longer exist. The farms were assigned to the monk of Condom’s town. The monks decided to fortify the village because this area was fragile at this period, due to the war between France and England. The caste Larressingle was thus created. No woks have been made to the castle, until the French Revolution, where he became a national asset. Unfortunately, the castle was then "abandoned" and it was only in the early twentieth century that the Duke of Treviso undertook some major renovations.
