À propos du lieu

Domaine impérial de Solférino

40210 Solférino

Landes
Nouvelle-Aquitaine

In 1857, in his great dream of regenerating the uninhabited territories of southwestern France, Emperor Napoleon III acquired 7000 ha of the Landes department to create an imperial estate, a sort of ideal city in the image of Henrichemont, Richelieu or Versailles, designed in the 17th century. From 1860, the project comes out of the ground, a regular village (with its church Sainte-Eugénie, its town hall-school, its model farms and its agricultural houses called «cottages») implanted in the center of the domain. It became a commune in 1863 and was named Solferino in memory of the victory of the imperial troops over the Austrians in 1859.
