La Seigneurie

 estate (manor / mansion land), mansion / manor house / villa

The home of the Seigneurs of Sark since 1730, La Seigneurie was built on the site of the sixth century monastery of St. Magloire. The present house has been altered and extended over the years with a large Victorian watch-tower erected in order that signalling could take place between the island and Guernsey. The formal, Royal Horticultural Society recognised gardens are amongst the finest in the Channel Islands.

The current Seigneur, Christopher Beaumont, the 23rd Seigeur, could move back in as soon as 2018 when a lease terminates. The buildings have been leased to a wealthy family with much of the rent being major improvements. These changes constitute a major tax free gift to the heir to the title.

The title passed in July 2016 and the son and new Heir had not moved as of this update
