Palleville: History and Tree Climbing

When planning a stay in Palleville, you can explore its architectural history, tree climbing, hiking and local produce as separate points of interest. Those interested in historic sites will find the Château de Lastouzeilles and the Église Saint-Martin in Palleville. Outdoor activities include LIBERTREE and hiking trails in the surrounding area. Les Jardins de La Landelle and public events round out the picture of the town.

Château and Church: Architectural History in Palleville

The Château de Lastouzeilles has been mentioned in written sources since the 15th century. After being besieged by Turenne in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, it was partially rebuilt. The château is partially protected as a historic monument. The record thus spans its early mention in written sources, its reconstruction and its protected status.

The Église Saint-Martin de Palleville was built in the 1850s and enlarged in the 1880s. Its surviving stained-glass windows date from the 19th-century construction and expansion and have particular cultural and historical value. The windows thus add another dimension to the building’s dates, offering a distinct perspective on local history. Together, the church and château provide two different points of reference for exploring historic Palleville.
