OIRON

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 53 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NUM-ORC
OIRON , a
village
  of western France, in the department of Deux-Sevres, 7z M. E. by S. of Thouars by road. Oiron is celebrated for its chateau,
standing
  in a park and originally built in the first half of the 16th century by the
Gouffier
  family, rebuilt in .the latter half of the 17th century by Francis of Aubusson, duke of La Feuillade, and
purchased
  by Madame de Montespan, who there passed the latter
part
  of her life.
Marshal
  Villeroy afterwards lived there. The chateau consists of a main building with two
long
  projecting wings, one of which is a graceful structure of the Renaissance period built over a cloister. The adjoining
church
 , begun in 1518, combines the
Gothic
  and Renaissance styles and contains the tombs of four members of the
Gouffier
  family. These together with other parts of the chateau and
church
  were mutilated by the Protestants in 1568. The park contains a group of four dolmens.
