Through a collection of extraordinary imagery and an extensively researched history, Joseph Pell Lombardi, a noted international preservation architect, provides a first-time glimpse, from the dawn of time to the present, into enchanted Ch\u00e2teau du Sailhant and its magical site in the volcanic mountains of the Auvergne. Being a mysterious medieval stronghold, Sailhant is not only physically compelling, it witnessed a wealth of history \u2013 now shrouded in the mists of superstition and legend.<\/p>\n
