Explore the history of the Château de Sédières in Clergoux, which hosts the festival de Sédières from June to September.

In the heart of France, on the commune of Clergoux in the département of Corrèze, stands the Château de Sédières. The castle was built by Jean Boutier and underwent a major reconstruction during the Renaissance. The building features molded windows, a kitchen, and 13 rooms or chambers, some of which are decorated with monumental fireplaces. Today, the Château de Sédières is known for its rich history and stunning architecture, which includes tapisseries de Flandres, faïences de Delft, Italian plafonds, and Renaissance furniture.

The castle has been through various owners, including Gabriel Delessert and Colonel Adolphe de Chanal. Following the death of Adolphe de Chanal, his daughter Béatrice and her son-in-law continued the interior decoration. The festival de Sédières has been organized at the site since 1974, held every year from June to September.
