When ploughing the fields around Saint Gayan
roman vestiges are often revealed proving human presence at the place for at
least two milleniums.
The family of today know about ancesters back to 14. century. In 1709 the estate
was purchased by a direct forefather. Thus there is of course a feeling of
affinity present at the domain. Today it's the 10th generation running the
domain.
