History of the property :
Situated in Spontour, part of the commune of Soursac, known as the ‘Château de Spontour’, the manor house is part of the life of the gabariers and fishermen of the Dordogne. The tower's frontispiece, dated 1507, depicts a fish in the Dordogne, symbolising the lords' link with the town's river activities.
From the 16th century onwards, many families of minor nobility or notables
The de Monamy family (16th century), the du Solier family (18th century) and the Chanfeuil family (19th-20th centuries) were all involved in the fishing and barging trade on the Dordogne. It was bought in 1963 by the grandparents of the current owners, a Hungarian immigrant couple who had fled the totalitarian regime in 1949.
Having fallen in love with the Dordogne valley and fallen under the spell of the uninterrupted view of the river from the manor's tower, they embarked on a major restoration project to restore the site, which had fallen into disuse, to its former beauty and unique charm.
The grandmother of the current owners wanted to register the manor house as a Historic Monument.
