Origin and history
The Domaine des Monts, located in Beyssac (Corrèze), has its origins in the mid-19th century as an annex to Pompadour's national stud. Around 1850, livestock buildings replaced old barns, organized in a U-plan around a granite and slate house. These constructions were initially used for equine breeding, as part of the national stud network, before specializing in the limousine cattle breed after World War II.
The southern buildings, known as the Lodges, retain original 19th-century architecture, while the northern buildings were redesigned after 1880. The site ceased breeding in 2006, with the reform of the national studs. Today, it is partially protected under the Historical Monuments (registration in 2013), testifying to the agricultural and equestrian history of the Corrèze.
Originally, the Monts were part of the six branches of the national stud, a network created to improve equine races in France. Their conversion to cattle farming in the 20th century illustrates the adaptation of agricultural structures to local economic needs. The estate thus embodies two centuries of change in breeding practices, between royal heritage and modernization.
