The Château de Conros is a medieval castle, later heavily modified, situated in Arpajon-sur-Cère in the Cantal ''département'' of France. It was added to the list of ''monuments historiques'' by the French Ministry of Culture on 30 September 1991.〔 * (Ministry of Culture database entry for Château de Conros ) 〕 == Description == The castle was recorded in 1230 as a ''super novo edificio'', later as a ''repario'', and in 1269 as a ''castrum''. The present building has several distinct parts: the north tower (the oldest), the south tower, a rectangular two-floored residence, a pavilion wing with lantern covering forming a dovecote. The whole is surmounted by another floor supported on corbels. The château incorporates sections from various periods. There are elements from the 13th century in the cellars and ground floor and from the 15th century on the first floor. The bulk dates from the 16th century, with heavy remodelling in the 17th century to the upper floors, notably the Imperial dome. * On the first floor is a 15th-century chimney from the Château de Branzac which is entirely painted. This chimney owes its decoration to artists brought from Italy by Camille Carracioli, a Neapolitan princess, wife of the lord of Branzac (1570). * The staircase has landings opening onto the steps through two round arches jointly supported on columns with Doric or Ionic capitals. Each landing is covered by a rib vault.〔From the description of Monuments historiques.〕 The stone-covered roof has a surface area of 1200 m2. There are 70 windows, some of which retain their 18th-century woodwork. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Château de Conros」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
