A fifteenth-century chateau and Benedictine abbey with splendid grounds in one of France’s most beautiful villages, in the country’s Ariège department. You reach the property via a narrow lane that runs along the chateau. The edifice forms a U shape, adjoined to an abbey. It enjoys a commanding view over the River Hers valley. The property is a haven of peace in the heart of a region with an eventful past: Occitania. The chateau stands like a fortress. It is the fruit of a long monastic story: a combination of medieval history and Benedictine architecture. The existence of this Benedictine abbey was first mentioned in a deed that dates back to 923. Charlemagne, returning from a campaign against the Saracens, chose the spot in 778 to build a monastery and a church. A natural dam that held back Puivert lake nearby burst on 18 June 1279, destroying all the villages in the valley. The monastery was rebuilt between 1280 and 1316 to look like France’s royal fortresses with arrow slits. Then its monks abandoned the edifice during the Hundred Years’ War. Later, in 1502, a phase of reconstruction began, resulting in the buildings that we can see here today. This was an initiative from Philippe de Lévis, the Bishop of Mirepoix, who gave the fortified priory a majestic, serious look. He created apartments in the rectangular tower that the chateau still features today. From this period onwards, especially during the edifice’s second phase of restoration in the eighteenth century, the chateau never stopped being embellished with rich decorative features that expressed the abbey’s powerful influence. The edifice is made up of three sections crowned with gabled and hipped roofs that are covered in monk-and-nun tiling and edged with triple-row génoise cornices. The first section is long and thick. It has three floors and an end tower that is taller than the rest of it. Many evenly placed arched or right-angled windows punctuate its walls. The two other sections adjoin the church. They form a cloister around a garden courtyard. The west section has three floors and the east section has two floors. The latter was recently converted into a gîte. In front of the edifice’s large south-facing facade, a terraced garden leads down to parkland that includes an age-old magnolia in its range of trees.

Ideally located near Carcassonne, at the entrance of the Corbières, at the foot of the Alaric mountains, the castle is located in the heart of a small village of the Aude easily accessible. The estate includes the castle and its outbuildings for a total surface of about 3500 m2. The hotel has more than 25 rooms, a restaurant and a complete set of facilities to enhance your stay.

13th century castle, between Toulouse and Perpignan. COMPLETELY RESTORED!

Motorway access is 15 minutes away, TGV station and airports are 45 minutes away. History: The Seigneurie de Plaigne was built in the 13th century by the Cathar lord Guillaume de Plaigne. His last descendant, Anne de Plaigne, who married the Count of Pibrac in 1642, sold the castle to François Paul de Béon-Masse-Cazeaux, Grand Prior of the Order of Malta in Toulouse, who refounded it in 1688 as a commandery of the Order of Saint John. It was the largest and most recent commandery in Languedoc. It remained part of the Order of Malta's property until the Revolution. The castle : the elegance of this place is surprising. The park with its hundred year old trees gives off a softness and freshness. The castle has retained the spirit of the fortress, as evidenced by the great Hall of the Knights. However, it has been tastefully restored by two generations of owners. The 12 double rooms in the castle and the 4 double rooms in the independent cottage offer a capacity of 32 people in absolute comfort with a swimming pool.

A manor house with its three gîtes and other outbuildings, set in 8 hectares of grounds with a lake, in the Couserans region of Ariège. Hidden by trees more than three hundred years old, the property gradually emerges at the end of a gravel driveway bordered by low stone walls leading from the west to the centre of the estate. Leaving behind the lush foliage, a group of south-facing buildings comes into view. They comprise a manor house in the centre, dating from 1772, two outbuildings to the west - a garage and a small building housing a reception room - and two former farmhouses that have been renovated and converted into gîtes (guest houses) to the east. The monk-and-nun roof tiles unify the complex, while the varying heights of the elevations, sometimes rendered in white and sometimes of exposed stone, create a hierarchy between the different buildings. The manor house is the tallest, rising to three storeys and flanked by a round tower with a cornice of shortened tiles. Its facades have numerous tall windows with dressed stone surrounds, protected by wooden shutters and metal guardrails with floral scrolls. In front of the manor house, there is a semi-circular gravel esplanade with a central rose bed of the same shape, bisected by a central passageway linking a small two-level Baroque-style fountain, topped by a Buddha, to the main entrance door of the residence. The gîtes and other outbuildings are located on either side of the gravel driveway and the manor house, separated from the latter by a U-shaped paved courtyard to the east. Restoration work in these buildings has showcased the exposed stone walls, and the roofs have been completely redone. Certain parts of the estate have also been modernised to provide year-round facilities for yoga retreats. Two levelled expanses face each other: a vast parking area bordered by low stone walls, which runs in front of the buildings to the right of the driveway, and, at the eastern end, a relaxing terrace partly protected by a solid wood pergola with views over the surrounding area. The property is surrounded by well-kept parklands that slope gently to the south, blending seamlessly into the Ariège Pyrenees Regional Nature Park.
