Marqueyssac Gardens

In one of the regions of France, called Dordon, there is a small town of Vezak, which became famous thanks to the ancient attraction, which is the Marquezac castle, as well as the lovely pendant gardens located around it.

Gardens in this area were founded back in the XVII century for aristocrats who disposed of the estate. All the time they set up the local area for romantic walks, a pleasant stay and reception of guests. This territory was constantly being transformed, replenished with new shrubs, to which gardeners gave a very interesting look of strict geometric shapes. Le Notra worked on the unique design of the park, who became the founder of the landscape school of that time.

In the garden of Marquezsak in the 19th century, samshite trees were planted, on the orders of the owner, that he had returned from Italy and decided to decorate his estate. It was then, thousands of shrubs were planted on the territory of the garden, between which the paths that members of the Serval family loved to walk, as well as all the guests of the palace, wriggled. It was at this time that the gardens of Marquezsak were filled with unusual beauty, which was created by various alleys, stone arbors.

Marquezak Castle, with its adjacent gardens, was opened to the public in 1996, when the local reconstruction ended. During the resumption of gardens, they adhered to photographs of the original appearance. Today, this is the most interesting attraction of France, which attracts real connoisseurs of gardening.

For viewing, the guests of the park are presented with more than one thousand centenary samshits, which are carefully trimmed, caring gardeners, as well as various chapels and rotunda. Here are made of stone huts, which is an integral part of the design of the garden ensemble.

But in addition to the rounded shape of man-made trees, wonderful oak forests grow here, where the paths are paved with stone. You can rest, after walking in the park, by the green rooms that are located near the streams. Interesting sculptures of animals and birds with metal that hide at the branches of centuries-old trees give Marquezak a special highlight.

In addition to man-made natural attractions, you can find many other fascinating places in the park, among which is a turning workshop where, if you wish, you can cut out a lovely souvenir from a local samshite.

On the territory of the Marquezak garden, there are also playgrounds where the smallest visitors have fun.

According to the sub-creating of Marquez, excursions are held daily, as part of which you can also hear the wonderful history of the emergence of this garden and park complex.
