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.

Wieskirche

The Pilgrimage Church of Wies (Wieskirche) is an oval rococo church, designed in the late 1740s by Dominikus Zimmermann. It is located in the foothills of the Alps in the municipality of Steingaden.

The sanctuary of Wies is a pilgrimage church extraordinarily well-preserved in the beautiful setting of an Alpine valley, and is a perfect masterpiece of Rococo art and creative genius, as well as an exceptional testimony to a civilization that has disappeared.

The hamlet of Wies, in 1738, is said to have been the setting of a miracle in which tears were seen on a simple wooden figure of Christ mounted on a column that was no longer venerated by the Premonstratensian monks of the Abbey. A wooden chapel constructed in the fields housed the miraculous statue for some time. However, pilgrims from Germany, Austria, Bohemia, and even Italy became so numerous that the Abbot of the Premonstratensians of Steingaden decided to construct a splendid sanctuary.
