Ledig-Rowohlt Foundation and Its Mission
The Château de Lavigny International Writers’ Residence was founded by the late Jane Rowohlt in memory of her husband, the German publisher, Heinrich Maria Ledig-Rowohlt. Her wish was to bequeath their home, the Château de Lavigny, for a writers’ residence offering and fostering “a spirit of international community and creativity.”
While Ledig-Rowohlt published Albert Camus, William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, Günther Grass, Vladimir Nabokov, John Updike, Harold Pinter, Jean-Paul Sartre, and many other key twentieth century writers, he always looked for new voices. In that spirit, the Foundation encourages emerging writers as well as established ones to apply. It looks for writers interested in exchanging their ideas as well as concentrating on their own work.
Since the creation of the foundation in 1996, the Château de Lavigny has welcomed some 500 writers.

L’esprit de la Fondation Ledig-Rowohlt
La résidence internationale pour écrivains au Château de Lavigny a été fondée par Jane Rowohlt en mémoire de son époux, l’éditeur allemand Heinrich Maria Ledig-Rowohlt. Son vœu était de faire de leur domicile, le Château de Lavigny, une résidence pour écrivains désireux de partager « un esprit de communauté internationale propice à la création ».
Ledig-Rowohlt, qui publiait Albert Camus, William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, Günther Grass, Vladimir Nabokov, John Updike, Harold Pinter, Jean-Paul Sartre et bien d’autres grands écrivains du XXème siècle, cherchait inlassablement de nouvelles voix. La Fondation, fidèle à cet esprit, soutient aussi bien les jeunes auteurs que ceux déjà reconnus. Elle souhaite favoriser ceux qui désirent échanger des idées tout en travaillant à leur œuvre propre.
Depuis sa création en 1996, le Château de Lavigny a accueilli quelque 500 écrivains.
