Le château de PUYMARTIN se situe dans la commune de Marquay, à proximité de Sarlat-la-Canéda (département de la Dordogne, en région Nouvelle-Aquitaine).
Il fait l'objet d'une protection au titre des monuments historiques.
Présentation
Datant des XVème, XVIème et XVIIème siècles, le château de PUYMARTIN est situé à 8 km de Sarlat et 11 km des EYZIES. Il est ouvert à la visite.
Histoire
La construction du château a débuté au XIIIème siècle. En 1357, le château devient possession anglaise. Les consuls de Sarlat rachètent le domaine aux Anglais et l'abandonnent.
RADULPHE de Saint-CLAR reconstruit le château en 1450. Au XVIème siècle, Raymond de Saint-CLAR rachète le château et repousse les protestants. C'est lui qui reprend Sarlat aux huguenots sous le nom de Capitaine de PUYMARTIN.
Au XVIIème siècle, Jean de Saint-CLAR et sa sœur Suzanne se disputent la possession du château pendant 40 ans. Suzanne en devient finalement propriétaire. Le château est abandonné au XVIIIème siècle.
Au XIXème siècle, le marquis Marc de Carbonnier de MARZAC, grand-père du propriétaire actuel, restaure le château dans un style néogothique grâce à la dot de sa femme.
Le château est inscrit au titre des monuments historiques par arrêté du 6 décembre 1948. L'une de ses chambres du XVIIème siècle, lambrissée et peinte, est classée monument historique le 1er mars 1977.
Après le décès du propriétaire, Henri de CHERADE de Montbron, le 31 juillet 2002, sa femme et ses enfants en ont hérité en 2003.
Dame blanche
Une légende dit qu'une châtelaine du XVIème siècle, Thérèse de Saint-CLAR, aurait été surprise avec son amant par le retour de guerre inopiné de son mari. En punition de sa faute, ce dernier l'aurait condamnée à rester prisonnière durant les 16 dernières années de sa vie, dans une petite pièce de la tour nord où elle mourut, et dans laquelle l'époux trompé aurait exigé que le corps de sa femme soit emmuré.
On prétend depuis que le fantôme de Thérèse de Saint-CLAR errerait parfois le soir aux environs de minuit, sous la forme d'une dame blanche, dans l’escalier, sur le chemin de ronde du château, avant de pénétrer dans cette chambre.
Jean-Yves Saint Lezer, a contemporary French artist, embarked on his artistic journey from a tender age, initially expressing his creativity through pencil drawings. The spark ignited during his school days, where he vividly recalls sketching a sailboat (a corvette) that adorned the cover of his notebooks. His artistic endeavors expanded as he repeatedly drew and diversified into landscapes, still lifes, and various subjects.
Life took its course, and Jean-Yves Saint Lezer pursued a career until retirement, putting his artistic passion on hold. With the luxury of time in retirement, he rekindled his love for painting, primarily focusing on landscapes and still lifes. His creations are characterized by a unique and pure artistic vision, reflecting his personal interpretations.
In his artistic practice, Jean-Yves draws inspiration from renowned painters like Bill Alexander and Bob Ross, both known for their mastery of the wet-on-wet technique. While adhering to this technique, Jean-Yves goes beyond, combining multiple artistic approaches to diversify his style. His paintings stand as a testament to the harmonious fusion of influences, resulting in a body of work that is uniquely his own.
As Jean-Yves Saint Lezer continues to explore and experiment with various techniques, his art resonates with a genuine passion for creation. Retired but invigorated by the opportunity to pursue his artistic calling, he brings a fresh perspective to the canvas, creating pieces that reflect not only his skill but also the joy derived from the process of artistic expression.
