Château de Herrebouc

Saint-Jean-Poutge, France

The Château de Herrebouc is a castle in the commune of Saint-Jean-Poutge. Though an older building, the present look of the castle is the result of a major campaign of construction work at the start of the 17th century. On the ground floor, the 17th century ceiling is partially conserved. The farm buildings date from this period. The pigeon loft is characteristic of the architecture of the time of Henri IV (reigned 1589 to 1610). The wine cellar is probably a later structure.

The mill retains an intact medieval base. Medieval walls are also visible in the buildings of the farm.

Very nice tasting. Local wines, wines for aging, very pleasant surprises for those, like us, who only knew Gascony eaux-de-vie. Armagnac, Bas Armagnac.

Very beautiful estate, the listed buildings are a magnificent setting to showcase the work and quality products. The wines are made organically and Demeter and we feel the investment of the winegrowers who passionately provide explanations on their production. Very nice discovery

Nice tasting today with Hélène. Sumptuous products and a renewed tasting room. For a top-notch welcome, make an appointment.

Very pretty estate but really poorly signposted, the gates wide open with a sign writing the name of the estate and that it is a historic place, as soon as we get back a man beckons us to come and what seems to be his wife comes to linger over us. making it clear that it is a private place and kicked us out, really disappointed, I really advise against it Please put a sign at the entrance to indicate that it is private property or at least take the trouble to close it at the entrance.

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
