The history of the Château de Scalibert
- 17th century – Scipion Du Puy de Roquetaillade is lord of Scalibert; he is recorded as the second husband of Isabeau de Bouffard-Madiane, born in 1624.
- By 1680 – The Clauzade family, who later also acquire the Château d’En Parayré in nearby Prades, already own the châteaux of Riols and Scalibert.
- 20th century – The château appears on postcards of the period, listed under Saint-Paul-Cap-de-Joux, a neighbouring commune.
- Today – The château’s chapel is listed among the heritage sites of Teyssode, and the château is offered to overnight guests via Expedia.
There is no dedicated Wikipedia article on the Château de Scalibert, so little of its history is documented here. What can be said is that Scalibert has been a lordship since at least the 17th century, that the stream running through the area also bears its name, and that the neighbouring Château de Riols, commissioned in 1680, belonged to the same family.
The château’s own architecture is best judged from the listing’s photos, which show a symmetrical façade with regularly spaced windows, several chimneys and a tower, as well as a brick-clad building behind a gate with brick pillars.
