Château du Castellas (St. Bonnet de Salindrique)

Bonjour !
Pour autant qu’il m ‘en souvienne, la photo de la base mérimée présente le château dans l'état dans lequel Madame Hantat l’a acquis. Il avait servi de carrière de pierre et était réduit à l'état de ruine. De mémoire, elle a relevé les courtines de la cour le chemin de ronde, restauré tours et échauguettes, fait rénover la porte, l’escalier et les salles du donjon. Au premier elle a fait aménager ses appartements privés qu’elle à pris soin de meubler avec des meubles anciens produits localement.

La salle qui vous préoccupe est dans le donjon (la grande tour carrée dans laquelle s’ouvre la porte (restaurée) qui intègre la tour Nord. L’édifice circulaire que vous avez repéré sur la photo est la tour Sud qui a été relevée lors des restaurations, a droite en bordure du chemin d'accès.

J'espère que Mme Hantat est toujours en vie et qu'elle habite toujours son château. Vous pouvez essayer de prendre contact avec elle, car elle a édité un petit opuscule d'un vingtaine de page, que j'ai rangé (égaré...) quelque part dans une des bibliothèques de la maison!

Hello ! (In my poor english ...)
As far as I can remember, the photo of the Mérimée base shows the castle in the state which Madame Hantat acquired it, because il had been used as a stone quarry and was reduced to ruins. From memory, she raised the curtain walls of the courtyard and the covered way, restored the towers and watchtowers, and had a new gate, the staircase and the rooms of the keep were renovated. At the first she had her private flats fitted out and furnished with locally produced antique furniture.

The room you are concerned about is in the keep (the large square tower) in which the (restored) gate that integrates the north tower. The circular building that you have spotted on the photo is the South tower which was raised during the restorations, on the right, along the access road.

I hope Mrs. Hantat is always alive and still living in her castle. You can try to get in touch with her, as she has published a small booklet of about twenty pages, which I have put away (misplaced...) somewhere in one of the libraries of the house! >br/>At your disposal. DV

Thank you very much for your nice reply! :) I asked about that building because I found online no photo of it. It looks like an apse from an old chapel because it is oriented to the east. Many chapels in that region look like that. Also the hameau where the castle is located is called on the maps La chapelle. Best regards -- Chris06 (talk) 15:26, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

A cheeky ask, but I don't suppose you'd be able to photoshop the satellite dish out of your photo? It spoils an an otherwise excellent shot. - Seasider53 (talk) 23:10, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
