History

In 1577 Pierre de Sartiges, lord of Lavandès married Anne-Antoinette de Roux, who held property at Jaleyrac. They settled at Jaleyrac. NB The family of Sartiges is a family of ancient knighthood (13th century) established at Sourniac. The house was most likely built in the late 15th century or in the first half of the 16th century (before 1554). In the 17th century, François de Sartiges served in the Company of the prince of Condé and his son Aymon in the Company of gentlemen light cavalry of M. de Soursac. The house passed in 1714 to Marie-Françoise de Sartiges, wife of Guillaume de Ribier de Lascombes. Their descendants still inhabited Jaleyrac in 1789.

Description

Rectangular building located along the road lower down on a slope - which explains the differences in levels between the two facades. The roof was covered in stone slates but currently they only remain on a part, the rest being in sheet metal. The division into two properties (east and west) led to different treatment of the two parts from the 19th century onwards. The west part was enlarged on the street side forming a projection and openings were pierced in it. The south facade is more homogeneous in its openings, even if it currently has different render. On the ground floor, two doors with pointed arch covering and wide moulded stone surround; on the floor above, two identical openings with traverse and accolade covering, having retained for the one to the east, its casement with small panes. Still in the 19th century, there existed on this facade at the upper level, a covered wooden gallery, against which the facade wall was covered with mural paintings, of which we retain today only part of the preparatory drawings engraved on the render of the part with a date inscription (1554). The East gable wall is pierced at the upper level by a large opening with surround with crossed mouldings, with traverse and mullions, fitted with old casements. Inside, is preserved at the upper level of the East part a monumental fireplace with wide moulded lintel. Roof structure with rafters carrying pegged truss, old on the west side. At the end of the 19th century, there remained a small stained-glass window which has since been deposited in the museum of Clermont-Ferrand.
