Ferme dite Château Suau

The château began life as the hunting lodge of Jean-Louis de Nogaret de la Valette, Duc d'Épernon (born May 1554 in Caumont, died January 1642 in Loches), one of the most powerful French political magnates of his time. This noble house underwent a complete restoration during the 17th century, when the estate belonged to the de Suau family (the château bears their name to this day), still cited in 1687 under Louis XIV. The estate belonged to Clément Gopp de Bordeaux, a wine merchant who was described as Seigneur de Suau in 1750.
