Welcome to Purnon’s Dining Room.  

This grand room has never had a fire place.  At the end of the 18th century it was heated by a ceramic heater.  Today two hydronic radiators keep this room warm in winter.  One of them houses a small cupboard that was used for keeping plates warm in the 20th century.  

When the chateau was first constructed a copper fountain for washing hands before eating sat close to the windows.  

Imagine the splendid dinners that must have been hosted in this room!
