History of the property: 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.
Since the 16th century, the estate has belonged to a number of families of noble or notable status, such as the de Monamy family (16th century), the du Solier family (18th century) and the Chanfeuil family (19th-20th centuries), all of whom were involved in the Dordogne fishing and barging trade. 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.
