Messidor Residence
Little French castle built in 1942 by the architect Alejandro Bustillo. The most beautiful gardens surround the building that raise over Lake Nahuel Huapi’s coasts. 

It is the official residence of Provincial Government. Its gardens present French geometric and order characteristics, sprinkled with autochthonous species, among which colihues, radales, different kind of pines, arrayanes, chestnut trees, birches, oaks, maitenes, walnut trees and ñires stand out.
Messidor is translated in French as “Golden Month” referring to the tenth month of the year in the ancient French calendar, season in which wheat fields are browned in France.
Its history:
Lady Sara Madero de Demaría Salas was its owner, Bustillo brothers’ first cousin.
On the 10th April 1954 the national senators Mr. F. Capraro and Dr. J. Solanga proposed, to the Tourism Ministry, the acquisition of the building for Neuquén Province. On the 27th April in this year, Don Felipe Sapag reaffirms the request insisting on the tourist value of the operation. The Province’s Honourable Legislature, after a long debate, approves its purchase for the sum of 17.000.000 m/n – by Law 388.
In 1964, El Messidor became a Province’s property under the condition, imposed by the owner, that it would be the official residence of Neuquen’s Government. Since then, presidents, diplomats and authorities were lodged as guests.
