A chateau, registered as a Historical Monument, and its outbuildings over 7 hectares of grounds on a hilltop in the Comminges region. A shady drive leads to the chateau, perched on a hilltop and surrounded by verdant grounds, which has unobstructed views of the neighbouring hillsides and the Noue Valley. Having undergone several transformations over the centuries, the building has witnessed many historical events, housed notable figures and played an important role in local life. Originally a modest fortified manor house located at the top of a hill, the chateau is made up of a medieval core, a tower house from the 14th and 15th centuries, and a two-storey dwelling built in the 17th century. In the 12th and 14th centuries, an initial keep was built with small arrow slit windows similar to the ones that still exist on its southern side. Then, between 1340 and 1390, a square tower, with a circular interior housing the staircase, was constructed in order to access the keep’s third storey, but it was not until 1662 that the chateau would be considerably expanded with the construction of a building abutting the keep. Reflecting several centuries, the chateau, facing southwest and northeast, is understated in appearance with its plaster-coated stone walls devoid of any ornamental decorations, three-sided or hipped barrel tile roofs and rectilinear windows for the most part. The varied formats of the latter enliven the buildings’ different heights, while ashlar stone is used for the chateau’s window and door surrounds as well as its quoins and red-painted wooden shutters safeguard most of its small or large-paned windows. Lastly, a verdant courtyard, bordered by walls and traversed by a pathway that is accessible via wrought-iron gates on either side, connects the dwelling with the first outbuilding, used as a garage, while two others – a barn and stable – with pointed stonework exteriors and hipped or half-hipped tile roofs extend on from the chateau itself.

A 19th century Mansart style chateau and its outbuildings set in 32 hectares of parklands, meadows and woods 30 km from Carcassonne . A driveway with centuries-old plane trees, bordered on either side by vast pastures, leads to the 1879 Haussmann-style chateau. The L-shaped edifice is bordered by a main courtyard on its east and north sides. The three-storey main building features extensions on either side. The left wing comprises two more modest, two-storey dwellings of similar style. To the right and slightly set back from the main building stands a rectangular three-storey tower topped by a four-pitched, slate roof with a crest, finials and crenellated white stone frieze - the same material used for the surrounds of the three large windows with carved stone mullions. Next to the tower is a chapel dating back to 1890, covered by an abundant Virginia creeper, with two tall stained-glass windows framing a heavy wooden door. At right angles, the right wing of the building houses a reception room and two flats currently rented out as gîtes (holiday accommodation). The main building and tower have slate roofs, while the gîtes and chapel are monk-and-nun tiled. There are also several outbuildings to the immediate right of the chateau, including a barn, a winery and a stable. Set in 32 hectares of parklands, meadows and woods in a dominant position, the chateau is protected from all forms of disturbance.
