The Story of Château de Lasfonds

1826

Tracing its history back
to the Napoleonic era,
the Château de Lasfonds
sits on land once known
as the Hamlet of Peux,
as documented in the
Napoleonic Cadastre of
1826.

1844
A prominent figure of his time, Jacques Luce Lucien Janet de Lasfonds, inherited the title to this land and its original dwellings in 1844 from his father.
1856
Lucien Janet de Lasfonds initiated the transformation of this quaint hamlet into a splendid Château in 1856.
1861
By 1861, the Château had become the primary resi- dence for Lucien, his wife, their children, and their dedicated household staff which included a cook, ser- vant, and coachman.
1872
The 1872 census then of- ficially recognized the estate as the Château de Lasfonds.
1893
After the death of Janet de Lasfonds in 1893, the Château remained under family ownership
1932

Until 1932 when it was sold to a merchant family from Bor-deaux. Over the years that followed, the Château’s own-
ership saw more changes, while it retained its agricul-tural usage with cows and goats being held at the outer buildings.

2005
Recognising the dire need to re- store the Château to its original beauty, a new owner in 2005 em- barked on a comprehensive resto- ration journey. The renovation preserved the authentic stone structures and heritage of the Château and its outbuildings while incorporating all modern conveniences.
2023

Bought in 2023, the Château
and its outbuildings have been
further upgraded. It now
combines grand, charming
architecture with an intimate,
luxurious, and artistic living
atmosphere.
