Château de Lagarde

Owned by the King of Aragon, who built a modest watchtower in the 11th century, the estate became a possession of the Lévis, lords of the Île de France, victors in the crusade against the Albigensians.

It was remodeled and enlarged into a fortress with colossal towers, then transformed from the 16th century onwards into a prestigious residence. Finally, under the aegis of Louise de Roquelaure, magnificent formal gardens gave the château a grandeur unequalled in the Pyrenees.

Sold to the stone quarry during the French Revolution, the site today boasts majestic ruins. Listed as a historic monument, it has preserved its original layout and the foundations of its fortifications.

During the summer months, the château is the setting for events, gourmet markets and live entertainment!
