TARN - NEAR ALBI
15th century castle in a village with the same name, owned by the vassal lords of the bishop of Albi, part of the barony of Monestiés. The building has a medieval architecture. An imposing circular tower, housing a spiral staircase, stands against the east façade, adding to its unique character. Despite modifications over the centuries, original features such as Gothic windows and vaulted cellars with arched cut-stone doors remain.
This 15-room château features around 700 m² of living space.
Inside, there are Louis XV and Louis XVI-style marble and wood fireplaces, a marble fountain, and painted ceilings on the second floor. This château, a precious testimony to the region's history and architecture, has been partially listed as a historic monument since January 25, 1980 for its facades, roofs, spiral staircase and painted ceiling.
On the ground floor, a majestic entrance hall leads to a dining room with a large fireplace, a vast 55m² living room and large vaulted cellars.
On the first floor, there are two separate wings. The first one features a spacious hallway leading to three large rooms of over 35m² each. The second wing has three large bedrooms, a bathroom and an additional 42m² living room. On the second floor, there are additional rooms that could have been used for storage or staff accommodation, as well as other spaces and an accessible attic.
A 6,000 m² wooded park, partly enclosed by walls, provides a green and intimate setting, enhanced by century-old trees. A wrought-iron gate adorns the entrance. There is an nobstructed view of the countryside.
Restoration work is needed to restore this château to its former glory: insulation, all the woodwork, electricity, plumbing and the drainage system.
A unique opportunity to own a piece of history charged with elegance and grandeur.
