The Market Gardening Museum presents the evolution of market gardening practices during the 20th century. The hangar and dovecote of the castle of Lescombes, located 198 avenue du Taillan, and the cabin, rue du Prado, recall the activities and the know-how of many Eysinais.
In the dovecote, an important collection of manual tools is gathered: tools for clearing, plowing, smoking, sowing or planting, weeding and weeding, watering or irrigating, eliminating diseases and pests, harvesting and finally conditioning.
In the hangar, we find more bulky objects such as wagons, dumpers, harrows, plows, washing machines for vegetables, etc.

À propos du lieu

Château Lescombes - Centre d'art contemporain

198 avenue du Taillan, 33320 Eysines

Gironde
Nouvelle-Aquitaine

The Château de Lescombes was built in the middle of the 16th century by the lords of La Plane. This first building was the victim of a fire and was rebuilt in the seventeenth century, in its present form. Only a few elements of the original abode remain.
After having known several owners, the estate was bought by the Duret family in 1720\. During the French Revolution, Pierre Duret, in favour of the new ideas of the philosophers of the Enlightenment, was elected president of the first Eysines City Council, whose first meetings were held at the Château Lescombes.
The Faure family, the last owner of the estate, sold the property to the City of Eysines in 1989\. It now houses a landscaped park, an educational vegetable garden, a 16th century pigeon house, a market gardening tools museum and a contemporary art centre.
