A royal villa under the Merovingians, the land of the Saillant - Orbaciacus - was then a vassal of the Church, dependent in the 9th century on the abbey of Beaulieu and from the 11th century on the bishop of Limoges. The rectangular construction from the 15th century includes the remains of a primitive keep and was originally supposed to be enclosed by corner towers. The powerful stone corbels supporting the roof overhang come from the old machicolations whose upper part has been amputated and adapted to their new role. The cellars preserve remains of the primitive keep with openings in a slightly broken arch or semicircular. On the ground floor there is a monumental fireplace in the hall, the hood of which is decorated with murals. Staggered constructions from the 17th to the 20th century: openings, mansard roof,

Periods of construction:
15th century, 17th century, 19th century
