Un Castello E Monumento Storico Regionale, Con Annessi E Un Terreno DI 8 Ettari, Tra Cui

A chateau and regional historical monument, with outbuildings and 8-ha grounds, including vineyards, not far from a historical city, in the Gers. At the end of a B road, a 180-metre lane leads to a car park located next to the chateau’s grounds’ enclosure wall. From there, the lane becomes a footpath, providing access to a drawbridge that spans deep and currently dry moats, which gives on to the gravel courtyard surrounded by the property’s edifices, while the chateau itself is made up of three buildings, each with two floors and laid out in a U-shaped composition around its courtyard.

Built up on a rocky promontory, overlooking the medieval village’s dwellings, the chateau abuts a church to the south and looks out over its grounds and surrounding valleys to the east and north, whereas the central structure stands directly opposite the bridge that marks the entrance to the chateau’s courtyard.

With its medieval foundations still evident, constructed out of magnificent ashlar stone, with no visible joints, the main façade features a classical style indicative of the 18th century with, in the middle, a heavy door accessible via the chateau’s front steps and topped with a triangular pediment. In addition, a number of tall windows and doors cadence its exteriors, while most of its architectural details have been conserved, such as its mullioned windows, majestic stone staircase, parquet floors, crown moulding and fireplaces.

Constructed in 1247 by Montassin de Goalard, Abbot of Condom, the chateau, once a Gascon fortress, has, over the years, been progressively transformed, embellished and opened outwards in the direction of the village, whereas, in 1567, Blaise de Monluc made several improvements before Monsignor de Milon carried out significant modifications in a more classical style in the early 18th century.
