The glorious and stunning Chateau de Bagnac, situated in the Haute-Vienne department of France, sat in ruin since becoming abandoned in the 1950's, was a true delight on the eye in its day.. How it looks now  a sad look via Google Earth
Before it became what it is today Medieval Floor Plan
These maps also show the plots in this form before its transformation in the XIVth century although Bagnac is listed as Bugnac, whether this is an error is to be confirmed.
  Current day Floor Plan
Current day Floor Plan and the old on top of another...
If you study the floorpan in bit more scale, its almost possible to align the 2 buildings into one another maybe proving it was more than jusqt the tower dating to the XVth century... In its day.. from what i have seen these photo dates to around 1935 or before as the roof to the main house is still there
From what i have seen these photo dates to around 1945 as the roof on the left part of the property had been replaced with a more primitive corrugated style roof but the roof window openings are still in place
From what i have seen this photo dates to around 1950 or after, the roof on the right part of the property had been replaced with a more primitive corrugated style roof but now the roof window openings are gone
From what i have seen this photo dates to around 1975 at this time the building would have already been abandoned for over 25 years
Earlier Ruin Photo from after 1975 still show the Vestible (main entrance) which has now long gone
Blek le Rat - http://bleklerat.free.fr/ - 80's Parisian Stencil Artist Note the floor still in the chateau and the darkness of the photo also show it still has ceilings, long since disappeared under the weight of broken roofs, floors and walls
I am sure that this picture was taken the same time as the one above.?
Beautiful painting by an artist called Lionel Le Falher named L'Agonie de Bagnac
