Origin and history

The Domaine Le Noyer is a historical monument located in the commune of Villac, Dordogne (New Aquitaine). This agricultural estate, whose buildings date back to the 18th century, illustrates the rural architecture of this period. Its buildings, typical of the farms of the period, were preserved as a whole, with the exception of a barn at the southern end.

The domain was registered as Historical Monuments by order of 20 January 2016. This protection covers all farm buildings, their outbuildings, and the ground on the base, as defined in the plan annexed to the Order. The location of the domain, although known with an accuracy deemed satisfactory a priori, remains centered around address 4 Le Noyer, in Villac.

In the 18th century, the Dordogne was a region marked by a rural economy, where agricultural estates like Le Noyer played a central role in local life. These groups served not only as places of production, but also as social and economic hubs for the surrounding communities. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the lifestyles and agricultural techniques of the time.

Available information indicates that the domain could offer services such as visits, room rentals or guest rooms, although these details are not explicitly confirmed in the sources consulted. The Merimée database and Monumentum data remain the main references for its history and location.
