Origin and history

The Manor House of Courbesserre, located in the commune of Carlat in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, is an emblematic building of the 2nd half of the 17th century. It is distinguished by its blend of classical architecture and medieval elements, such as murderers or scalables, while integrating modern comfort arrangements for the period (lavabo, latrines). Built with local materials, this house reflects the stylistic and functional transitions of its time.

The manor house was listed as historic monuments by order of 11 June 1990, thereby recognizing its heritage value. Although conceived as a master house, it retains symbolic defensive features, inherited from medieval castles, while adopting innovations related to residential comfort. These features make it a unique architectural testimony in the Cantal.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, highlight its importance in the local historical landscape. The mansion is referenced in the Mérimée base under the code cadastral F 322, and its approximate address (5047 Courbesserre, 15130 Carlat) allows to locate it in a rural environment marked by the history of the Haute-Auvergne. No information is provided on its current accessibility (visits, accommodation).
